or if you can't help with the recipe.....
Can you give me an idea of the percentages I should use?
It's my understanding that a lotion/cream has water, oil, emulsifier, and then any additives like essential oils, vitamins etc.
Is this right?
If so can you recommend what percentage of water, oil, emulsifier and additional additives that I should do?
Also could you recommend the best emulsifier to use for dry skin? I've only used beeswax, is there anything better or should I use a combination? If I use jojoba oil would that count as an emulsifier (since it's wax) or an oil?
Also if you have any recommendations for helping it not be so shiny I'd really appreciate it.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!! |

I went through the list of ingredients and pulled on the ones I'd like to use or I think wouldn't be hard to obtain. I don't know if they are all necessary or if there are others I need to include (such as emulsifier). Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to come up with a recipe from these ingredients (taking out anything unnecessary)? I hope I was able to pick ingredients that would keep my dry skin moisturized all day long, do you think so?
Order of Ingredients goes from Most to Least amounts
Water
Sweet Almond Oil
Jojoba Seed Oil
Glycerin
Caprylic Capric Triglycerides (is there a substitute I can use?)
Cucumber fruit extract
Grape Seed Extract
Rosemary Extract
Tangerine Peel Extract
Pomegranate Juice Extract
Murumuru Seed Butter substitute with Shea Butter?
Pomegranate Sterols (can i use pomegranate juice or substitute with lanolin?)
Beet Root Extract - lots of minerals, amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants
Aloe vera gel
Something high in Linoleic Acid like Borage Oil
Algae Extract - SkinAgain’s product formulators now consider algae extract as a potent, active substance that can be used to normalize the skin’s moisture content and provide suppleness to the epidermis (Can I get at a health food store)
Coconut Oil
Hyaluronic Acid
Honey
Chitosan - forms a protective, moisturizing, elastic film on the surface of the skin that has the ability to bind other ingredients that act on the skin. (any substitute that is inexpensive and easy to obtain?) |

Basically a cream or lotion consists of a water fase, an oil fase, and an emulsifier.
When you select your ingredients, note whether they are water(-soluble) or oil/fat(-soluble).
A basic cream recipe would consist of 60% water fase, and 40% oil fase (including 10% e-wax as an emulsifier).
To find the right amounts you can find on line batch calculators.
Another nice way to discover how to incorporate an active into your recipe is, to look the ingredients up on sites that sell DIY ingredients and read their instructions. That will tell you how to dissolve, using water or oil, and whether you can dissolve in the heated fase or after cooling down.
If this is your first attempt to make a face cream, I advise you to cut down on ingredients and keep it simple. Maybe try an existing recipe first before you start tweaking it. There is a nice tutorial on the SEA blog showing you how to make a cream/lotion. |
