Hi,
This sounds like a lovely cream, however, I prefer salves/blams. Do you have a recipe for aging skin in a salve formula?

Thank you!

Hello Aurora, The most suitable option instead of Coco silicone would be Olive Squalan. Depending on your skin preferences, instead of silk protein you can use other cosmetic actives: peptides, baicalin vita, city guard, dermo-filler, dragon's blood extract and so on. For more information, we recommend you to study our family of cosmetic actives. Have a sunny day!

Hello, Sodium lactate also helps to regulate the pH, see at the end what pH you get and adjust as needed.

Hello, We recommend you to be more careful when mixing. Try to avoid aerating the cream during emulsifying by keeping the mixing head on the bottom of the bowl. best regards!

Hello! The optimal pH value for a face cream is 5.0-5.5, but if emulsifier, preservative or certain actives require a different pH, adjust the formula accordingly.

Hello. I'm a beginner, so I have some questions. I have learned that a cream must have ph 5 - 5.5 to be good for facial skin. I notice that depending on the type of cream, you recommend a different ph. Is that how we should get the cream? At the ph recommended in each one? Why this difference? Thank you very much!

Hello, can pure water be replaced with flower water? I don't have maca extract, can it be replaced or removed from the recipe? I would like to replace the flavoring with an essential oil if possible. Thanks !

Dear Marian, we do not recommend omitting this ingredient, you can replace it with cetearyl alcohol. Have a nice day!

Hello! In our experience, cetyl alcohol unlike cetearyl alcohol feels less greasy on the skin, but gives a tugging sensation, it doesn't glide on as well. This minus can be balanced by choosing lipids with a higher degree of distribution on the skin, so in the end the sensory profile depends on the whole formula.

Hello! Although, somehow, I'm off topic, I would like to know if cetyl alcohol used in an anhydrous cream has a more pleasant tint on the skin than cetearyl alcohol. What would be the difference between the two as a sensation on the skin? I want to make a balm in which to include more liposoluble actives and I don't know which of the two alcohols to opt for. Va va mulțumesc mult pentru suport! Cele bune!

Hello. Please, why don't you also sell ready-made creams, for example to order? There's no way I could buy so many ingredients and I wouldn't be able to make it properly. If it could be prepared hygienically and at an acceptable price, I would be happy to buy it. I like your products very much and would really like to give up the commercial creams. Thank you.
