@Perry, I used this cream and found that after applying the cream on the skin, the cream absorbs into the skin right away without leaving the oil on the skin.

[Dtdang]

@ngarayeva001, I bought oil-free moisture body cream. It is amazing that the cream absorbs into the skin rapidly and leaves no oils on the skin.
citrus oils are in the ingredients:

Water

butylene glycol

dicaprylyl carbonate

silica

glycerin

niacinamide

isopropyl isostearate

citrus lemon peel oil

grapefruit peel oil - poor

spearmint leaf oil

orange peel oil

limonene

linalool

citral

butyrospermum parkii (shea butter)

jojoba butter

hydroxyehyl urea

hordeum vulgare (barley) extract

trehalose

cucumber fruit extract

ginseng root extract

sodium polyaspartate

tocopheryl acetate

sodium pca

sunflower seed cake

sorbitol

caffeine

linoleic acid

ophiopogon japonicus root extract

squalane

sodium hyaluronate

ppg-15 stearyl ether

ammonium acryloydimethyltaurate.vp copolymer

hydroxyaccetophenone

carbomer

caprylyl glycol

xanthan gum

sodium hydroxide

ethylhexylglycerin

disodium edta Tetrasodium EDTA better solute in water

phenoxyethanol ammonium acryloydimethyltaurate.vp copolymer is thickener? What ingredients are emulsifiers? How the cream is oil-free?

Thanks a lot @ngarayeva001

[Dtdang]

Thanks @MarkBroussard

[Dtdang]

Thanks @ngarayeva001

[Dtdang]

I thank all of you. That’s way to learn. 
I will try it and post the results here.

@MarkBroussard, @ngarayeva001 
Like @MarkBroussard said:
It’s simply yet another emulsifier, but of course, has its own unique properties.  Use it like any other emulsifier  … “water drop macro emulsion”…

It is not w/o or o/w. It is more freedom formulate like Sepiplus 400. But, end user do not feel oils, just water drops. it is just available two years ago.

[Dtdang]

@ngarayeva001, Yes
I just went through the presentation. The end user of watery cream will feel less oil on their skin, just water drops. 
I will try out soon and let you know.

I use turmeric extract on my facial cream. It has wonderful benefits. Do not use it too much because its yellow color. 

[Dtdang]

All,
when your wound is healing, turmeric (raw) is applied to the wound to prevent the scar. This is for sure.

My point here is that agascalm is not for acne treatment. 

[Dtdang]

I searched and found the manufacturer:
Agascalm™ neutralizes the negative effects caused by psychological stress on the skin, such as inflammation and redness. This new active reduces skin redness, improves vascular tonicity, restores the barrier function for a moisturized skin,  enhances skin radiance and evens skin tone.

Vit A is not surviving under pH <5.9. But it will be stable at pH >=6
HA is working the best at pK {3.6, 4.1}

[Dtdang]

@Pharma, how about tea tree oil + salicylic Acid 

[Dtdang]

@Belassi, How are you?
How is the test results on agascalm? 

[Dtdang]

@amitvedakar you do not have to use hlb system. It is freedom formulation 

[Dtdang]

@amitvedakar, ascorbic acid is stable in the acidic environments with pH< 5
you can try using emulsifier, Sepiplus 400. It is freedom formulation.

[Dtdang]

@Pharma thanks for your kindness.

[Dtdang]

@Pharma what is the healthy limit?f

[Dtdang]

@Pharma, thanks for answering 
1) the pH of the skin is in the range between 4 to 6.5 and it depends on as you mentioned. So the facial cream must be in that range?
2) can you explain more details?
3) ascorbic acid is working on fading dark spots 
4) retinol for stimulating new cells

[Dtdang]

@Perry, @DAS, @Sponge, @Gunther, @Pharma
question:
1) pH of human skin = [4, 6.5], optimization of 5.5 ?
2) Is it good to have facial cream pH to be in the range of 4 to 6.5 ? 
3) Ascorbic acid is good effect with pH of less than 4?
4) Retinol is good effect with pH of greater than 6?
5) Ascorbic & retinol cannot work together?

[Dtdang]

Thanks @Perry

[Dtdang]

@ngarayeva001 thank you.

@ngarayeva001, Triethanolamine is used in many cosmetic products to help balance pH levels, as well as to act as a cleansing base. When absorbed into the body over a long period of time, it can become toxic. Even short periods of exposure can cause allergic reactions, including eye problems and dry hair and skin.Jan 5, 2015

That what I google it.

[Dtdang]

@ngarayeva001, what do you mean replacing oils with ester to eliminate the need in antioxidants? Please give me example.
Thanks in advance
