Hello Hina, To minimize the pH of the body cream, we recommend natural salicylic acid BHA, 2%, decreasing the percentage of water accordingly. We recommend measuring the pH of the finished cream.

Hello! You can enrich the formula with urea, add about 2-5% in phase B, decreasing the water dosage accordingly. Other modifications are not necessary.

Good evening. I made this cream by increasing the oil percentage to 10%, added urea and I want to tell you that it healed my cracked hands in no time. I have never had a hand cream so effective and non greasy, it goes into the skin quickly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Hello. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide cannot be added to the composition in sufficient quantity without rethinking and testing the formula. They are quite tricky ingredients and can destabilize emulsions. Try to follow recipes that already contain these ingredients.

Hello! I want to prepare a natural beach lotion. Could zinc oxide and titanium dioxide be added to this composition for use at the beach? If so, in what proportions? Thank you very much.

Hello. Substitute ingredient for panthenol we can't recommend, possibly make the cream without it.

Hello Larisa! The suggested modifications seem fine, 0.3% vitamin E is sufficient and coconut extract is not necessarily necessary, there are other ingredients that give the cream a subtle and pleasant fragrance. Good luck!

Hello Gabriela. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make the substitution, the two emulsifiers work differently.
