Hello Cristina, You can try making this cream with Olliva emulsifier only, increasing its dosage to 5%. After removing the hydractive emulsifier, adjust the percentage of water accordingly. The cream will be more fluid, less consistent.

Hi Cristina, In the case of removing these two emulsifiers, we recommend increasing the percentage of Olliva Emulsifier to 5% and adjusting by adding 2% to the amount of water. Since, based on our calculations, these changes will affect the consistency of the cream, we recommend testing on a small amount. Good luck!

Hello! You can add glycerin about 3-4% in phase B and 0.5% allantoin in phase C, decreasing the water dosage accordingly. Macadamia oil can be replaced with shea butter.

Hello! Of course, the cream can also be used on the body. You can increase the urea dosage, decrease the water accordingly. Instead of vegetable silicone you can use a vegetable oil according to your preference, coconut oil is a good choice. The cream will be slightly more oily in this case. Good luck!
