Hi Irina, To add slim-activ to this recipe and get both an effective and stable cream, we recommend adding 2% stable co-emulsifier to phase A. Slim-activ can be added a maximum of 5% in phase C. The total amounts added to the recipe will be subtracted from the amount of water for the immortelle. Good luck!

Hello, you have several recipes for firming that I don't know which one I want to try. Could you tell me if I can add in this slim-active recipe? And how much % , in what phase? Thank you very much?

Hello Adriana, During breastfeeding we recommend that you remove cinnamon and grapefruit essential oils from the recipe or, as specified in the safety data of these two essential oils, for their use in the recipe, consult your doctor. All the best!

Hello! The changes you made are fine. You can also use the cream daily, but it wouldn't be necessary to apply so often as it contains a high dosage of caffeine and ivy. Good luck!

Hello, Can you tell me what ingredient makes this cream unsuitable for daily use? And what would be the undesirable effects? I have prepared the cream with small modifications: daisy oil instead of avocado, grapefruit extract instead of cosgard, added 5% slim-active in the final phase and removed the cinnamon essential oil. I would like to use it daily. Thanks!

Hello! These emulsifiers are not equivalent, replacement cannot be made without rethinking and testing the formula.

Good afternoon. Beeswax is not an emulsifier, it cannot replace the Olliva emulsifier in this recipe.

Hello! Instead of avocado oil you can use various vegetable oils, the ones you suggest are suitable.

Hello, Could you please kindly suggest me a good substitute for the avocado oil in this formula, but still cheaper than it? Would rice or grapeseed oil work? Or are they too viscous?

Hello. You can remove the ivy extract from the recipe, and you can incorporate slim-active into the C-phase. We cannot tell you the optimal dosage without testing, as the final phase of emulsions supports a more limited addition of ingredients.

Dear Questioner, the recipe gives the correct quantities, 30 gr of amber extract is required. The product is available in 10 ml and 100 ml. Have a nice day!
