1. Heat the ingredients of phases A and B separately up to 70°C in a heat-resistant beaker on a water bath. When both phases have reached the right temperature, remove from heat.

2. Add the contents of phase A to phase B with mixing, continue mixing until smooth.

3. Place the beaker in a bowl of cold water and blend until a smooth, glossy, homogeneous emulsion is formed.

4. When the mixture has cooled to below 40°C, or hand temperature, add the phase C ingredients and mix thoroughly until smooth.

5. Measure the pH value and adjust if necessary.

6. Transfer the composition to the dedicated container. Consistency will be final the next day.

The result is a light, non-greasy cream formulated with ingredients aimed at improving body tone and skin firmness. Apply to thighs, abdomen and areas prone to sagging on clean skin and massage thoroughly until fully absorbed into the skin. Use once or twice daily.

Hi Iulia, No matter how exactly you follow the recipe and the quantities indicated, the pH of the final product will depend largely on the pH of the water used, especially as this ingredient makes up a very large percentage of the recipe. It is therefore necessary to check the pH of the product and adjust it if necessary. If the measured pH is too high, it can be adjusted by adding lactic acid drop by drop, mixing well and measuring the pH after each drop.

Hello! Thank you, first of all, for sparking my creativity since 2019 by inspiring the recipes you make! I'd have a quibble about the pH of the resulting products after mixing the ingredients. The phrase 'Measure the pH and adjust if necessary.' does not indicate the ingredient, let alone the amount by which the adjustment is made. Bearing in mind that we are following the recipe and the indicated grammage exactly, could we have more precise details, please?

Hello! The proposed formula seems fine, we suggest possibly adding an antioxidant, vitamin E or rosemary extract. For dehydrated complexion with enlarged pores we recommend inserting an exfoliating solution into your routine.

Good evening, I don't have slim-active at the moment, can I make the following changes? I want to add caffeine 1% in phase B, and instead of slim-active to add in phase C vegetable collagen 1%, acmella extract 1%, and 5% EU *I have fennel, black pepper, sweet orange, Virginia cedar, incense, can you tell me in what proportions to combine them?

Hello! Yes, you can do the replacement, being careful that phase A is heated no more than necessary.

Hello, I would have two questions: 1) if urea or gluconolactone can be added to this formulation, in the aqueous phase 2) if the slim-active ingredient is also suitable for the complexion (for the face). Thank you and my heartfelt congratulations for what you are doing

Hello! The proposed modifications are fine in principle, we have a slight reservation about increasing the fat phase to the proposed percentage, but Olliva emulsifier is versatile and forms very stable emulsions in general. Good luck!

Good evening! Is it possible to purchase the silhouette and firmness cream? Is it ready-made?

Hello. Pineapple powder dissolves almost completely in water, but adding it to the C-phase of an emulsion takes longer. Our recommendation is to first dissolve the powder in a little water before incorporation.
