Hello! Instead of the rosehip extract you can use another active ingredient with similar properties, not an aromatic extract that will only bring odor to the cream. Instead of the proposed fragrance, you can use another fragrance or essential oil of your choice.

Hello, the recipe is wonderful and it worked out the first time. I used Cetyl Alcohol 2% instead of hydrating co-emulsifier. Thanks!

Hello! Supplementing the formula with 10% urea could be problematic, we suggest you to turn to a recipe containing urea, which you can adapt by substituting certain ingredients (oils, perfuming..).

Hello! You can remove the Hidractiv co-emulsifier but you need about 0.2% xanthan (or 2% Stabila co-emulsifier) to increase emulsion stability, and an addition of glycerin in phase B for moisturizing, about 3%.

Hello! You can add these ingredients, we recommend urea in phase B and silk protein in phase C (no more than 1% so as not to risk destabilizing the emulsion). Decrease the dosage to water accordingly. Good luck!
