Hello Cristina, This formula, with its high content of butters and oils, has been specially designed for dry to very dry skin. Without prior reformulation and testing, we can't recommend the changes needed to make it an easily absorbable cream for normal skin.

Hello. How do I go about converting the cream to one for normal skin, I want it to absorb quickly into the skin and not leave a greasy or sticky layer. I find the formula very interesting, and I wouldn't want to make any changes( to spoil it.) I find that the recipes that are placed on d stră's website are laborious, and at the same time said, they are made by professional people, ) So, I have made up my mind not to make any changes without d stră's help. )

Hello, Anamaria! There are emulsifiers that require a certain way of combining the phases, otherwise, there is a risk that the emulsion will not form correctly. We therefore follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each emulsifier. All the best!

Thank you ! I omitted to mention that I replaced the passion fruit oil with white lily oil, because I intend to use this cream especially for the hands, in my case the hands are covered with small spots from the sun. Have a nice day!

Hello! I made this recipe with small modifications, such as: instead of lysolecithin I put ceramide 2% and the rest I added to the butter, which in my case was the CAFEA butter. Instead of cosgard, I used fragard. I did not add any essential oil or fragrance . THERE WAS NO NEED! The scent from the coffee butter combined with the fragard resulted in a fragrance that I would use as a perfume , that's how cool it is ! It came out a cream with an amazingly fluffy texture ! It's unlike anything I've seen or bought before ! I don't know if you realize how magnificent you are and how many benefits you bring to us ! I wish you all the best for the future and may you continue to delight us as you have done so far? I am very grateful! Have an excellent day!

Hello! In principle, you can achieve the proposed changes but you would need to adjust the dosage of emulsifiers if you decrease the total amount of oils/fats in phase A. The recipe is designed for very dry skin, maybe not the most optimal starting point in getting a light face cream and for all skin types.
