Intense Moisturising Cream for Mature Skin

Mature Skin needs more amount of hydration and moisturising properties as skin slows down regeneration and elasticity. Using a cream with humectants can help in reducing scaling and adds glow to the skin.  

Let’s see the ingredients used:

Key ingredient- Co-enzyme Q10(Ubiquinone) is a powerful antioxidant which reduces skin damage due to stress and environmental factors. It is also known to treat wrinkles. It is widely used in anti-aging creams and serums.

Rosehip oil: Rosehip oil is another anti-oxidant and emollient which makes skin soft and smooth. It is often used in facial oils and serums due to its exotic feel.

Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid binds water content to the skin and gives a hydrated appearance. It has a nicer feel in serums and creams.

Niacinamide: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is known for its moisturising and skin brightening properties. It is suitable for most skin types.

Green tea extract is another anti-oxidant which soothes skin and helps in reducing inflammation.

Olivem 1000 in combination with Cetyl alcohol is used in emulsifier phase. Olivem 1000 is a natural emulsifier which is easy to use for beginners. Cetyl alcohol helps with stability and thickening of cream.

Ingredients required:

Heated Oil Phase: A

Grapeseed oil 1.5g

Coenzyme Q10 1g

Olivem 1000 1.5g

Cetyl alcohol 0.5g

Phase B:

Rosehip Oil 1g

Water Phase: C

HA 0.1g

Glycerin 1.5g

Distilled water 40.65g +4g (10% for water lost due to heat)

Cool down Phase: D

Niacinamide 1g

Fragrance Oil 0.25g

Green tea extract 0.5g

Geogard ECT 0.5g

Equipment required:

100ml, 50ml glass beakers

Stirring rods and Spatulas

Heating mantle or Double boiler

Glass bottle or serum container

Weighing scale (that measures up to 0.01g)

Cups to measure ingredients

Procedure:

• Measure Phase A ingredients in a beaker.

• Add HA to glycerine for Phase C and stir to form thick texture. Add water in small quantities and stir slowly. This way HA will not form lumps and dissolves quickly.

• Now heat both Phase A and Phase B beakers on double boiler under 40 degree C until all the ingredients are melted.
• Once the ingredients are melted, add Rosehip oil to heated oil phase and stir.
• Pour water phase to oil phase and blend it.

• Add cool down phase ingredients once it comes to room temperature.

• Adjust pH to 5.5. Since Geogard ECT works effectively below 5.5 and Niacinamide works better at pH higher than 5, cream is suggested to be around 5.5.
• Pour it in a cream jar.
