Hello! As a rule, we don't usually recommend using an expired ingredient, but in this situation, glyceryl caprylate being quite resistant to bacterial contamination and recently expired, we think you can use it for this recipe.

Good evening!I had a can of glyceryl caprylate but it expired in the 11th month, do you think I can still use it, as it has not expired for a long time .... or remove it from the recipe...I know it's a strange question but I find the ingredient interesting and I need the cream quickly and I would not have time until the next order.I hope I can still use it...Thank you in advance.

Yes, in phase A add the co-emulsifier, and decrease the percentage of water accordingly. Have an easy day!

All right, got it. It'll subtract from the water percentage? Do I add it in phase A? Thanks a lot!

Hello! For higher viscosity, we suggest adding a co-emulsifier 2-3% Glycemul or Cetearyl alcohol. If you increase the dosage to xanthan, the cream will be slightly thicker but slightly gelatinous.

Hello! I'd put the cream in the jar, but I'd still like it to be more consistent. Should I use 0.3% xanthan gum instead of 0.1? Should I increase the emulsifier (to 8%) and decrease the amount of water? Thanks!

Hello! Substitution can be done, but keep in mind that both neem and bay laurel have quite a strong odor.

At the end of the preparation you can adjust the pH with lactic acid. Add a little at a time and measure in between.

I need a little help please, I prepared this cream using Bucovina plain water , the ph came out between 7-8, is it ok to add lactic acid at the end until I reach the right ph? The same happened to me with the anti-acne toner and purifying cleansing gel. Thanks! (I think the ph of this type of water is 7)

Hello! You can use this cream along with the mask, and it is important to thoroughly but gently cleanse the skin before applying the cream or mask. These products will help, but pay attention to the causes of the problem, especially since this is an 11 year old. good thoughts!

Hello. You can use the cream as a night cream as it is. Night creams are usually more consistent and even greasier, in this regard you would need to rethink the recipe, especially the emulsifier used and the ratio of the formula phases. Without testing, unfortunately, we can't give you any indication. Thank you for your appreciation and trust,

Hello! I would like to use this cream as a night cream. What should I add, in what phase and what weight? I have tried a few recipes on this site. I am very satisfied. You are wonderful!

Hello! Fragard can be replaced with Cosgard, same quantity. Instead of xanthan gum you can in principle also use guar gum, you would need a higher dosage, about 0,3%.
