Phase Ingredients Dosage % Total 50 gr
A Cupuacu Butter 10 5 gr
A Oat oil 10 5 gr

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 forms.

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

5. Transfer the mixture to the dedicated container. The consistency will be final the next day.

The result is a creamy but not very greasy cream, particularly suitable for dry skin, with caring, moisturising and protective properties.

Hello Gabriella, You can remove the vege-collagen or replace it with another cosmetic active, e.g. silk protein, dragon's blood extract, panthenol, city-guard. Good luck!

Hello! During the preparation too much air was incorporated, and because of this the cream increased in volume. This is not a problem, it can be used. When you prepare more creams, especially those with low volume, mix carefully so as not to over aerate the composition. All the best!

Hello! Yes, you can remove the wax from the formula, we recommend using a butter instead of coconut oil in this case. Murumuru butter or purified shea would be good choices.

Hello. Do you think it would be possible to remove wax from the formula and replace it with a vegetable butter? Would it destabilize the formula? Thank you!

Hello! It can be eliminated, we suggest beeswax or emulsifying olive wax as a substitute.

Hi. The final pH of the cream also depends on the pH of the water used in the recipe. I mentioned ~ 6.5, so approximately. Slightly more or less - that's fine.

Good evening! I made this cream and my ph was about 7 or 8 from what I see (I have attached the picture). In the description of the cream it says it should be 6.5. I followed all the steps, do you have any idea why it is so high? Thanks a lot!

Yes, they can be included, they go in the final phase. We suggest a dosage of no more than 2-3% in total to avoid destabilizing the emulsion.

Thank you, and with apologies, one more question, as I forgot to ask the first time: Can Dermo Filler or City Guard be included in this formula? And if yes, are they introduced in the final phase?

Hello! Yes, coconut oil can be partially substituted, according to your preference. Using a butter, the cream will be a little more consistent, but not solid. Have an easy day!

Hello. I have seen that coconut oil can be replaced with a vegetable butter. Can it be replaced only partially? I mean for example put half coconut oil and half vegetable butter? I'd like it to be a little more consistent but I don't want it to be too solid either. Thanks!

Hello! Yes, instead of squalan you can use the proposed oily macerate, same quantity. The cream can be used all over the face.

Good evening. Be so kind, instead of olive squalan can I use oily macerate with mimosa and argan oil, same quantity? And one more question: can the cream thus made be used all over the face, including the eyes ? Thank you very much.

Hello, I made the cream without adding or changing ingredients in the formula. The cream bound up nicely, with a nice, smooth appearance. But after 3 weeks the aqueous phase separated from the oily phase losing its homogeneity. Do you have any advice for me? Comercializez aceste produse catorva cliente client fidele si doresc sa evitait astefl de situatii. Thank you and I appreciate any response from you or others who may have experienced this.
