Hello Aida, Bacti-Pur complex will be added to the cream in phase C, i.e. after the composition has cooled down to below 40°C.

Bacti -Pur complex I saw that it has solubility in oil, should I put it in phase A or should it be in phase C

Hello Anca, Glycerin can be replaced with other water-soluble or glycerin products such as cucumber extract, walnut extract or propanediol, but not with fat-soluble ingredients (oils or butters).

I made the cream in the meantime, with a slightly modified recipe: - I replaced the cucumber glycerine extract with sodium PCA, which is not sticky and does not affect viscosity - I added LMW hyaluronic acid and vitamin E - I used floral waters that I had in stock. I put it in an airless bottle and after 17 hours, I checked and the cream comes out of the tube.? A jojoba oil 12% A Olliva emulsifier 6% B melissa water 30% B lemon balm water 43.3% B Sodium PCA 3% B niacinamide 2% C coenzyme Q10 2% C Hyaluronic Acid LMW 0.7% C Vitamin E 0.4% C cosgard preservative 0.6% The cream is not greasy, absorbs quickly, it is excellent. Thank you Elemental!

Hello! The cream has the right viscosity for an airless bottle, but you can decrease the dosage a bit on the emulsifier, we recommend 4.5-5%. All the best!

Hello. I would like to make the cream a bit more fluid to put in an airless bottle. How can I do this, increase the amount of oil, decrease a little of the Olliva emulsifier? I await your advice. Thank you.
