NightLight Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Not sure what you are asking. A recipe, a base, or existing face cream or serum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) I use ITDF's Elegant Cream moisturizer as a facial cream. Its simple to make and makes a lovely rich moisturizing face cream. Just go to their formulary/recipe section and look for "Elegant Cream". Edited September 4, 2021 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my lotion from scratch, what I am looking for is one that would be a little thicker for the face, A cream, more than a lotion. But not body butter.

I’m sure you tried that though… or more e-wax. Which can cause the dreaded soaping effect. or polymers (love love love polymers) I’ve started using gel maker EMU from Making Cosmetics and LOVE it. So easy to formulate with. for my face, though, I went old school with pet jelly right out of the shower. Not a sexy solution but my poor abused face had neck skin are happy 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 You can make take your lotion recipe and modify it several ways. Increase emulsifier, add hardeners, add butters. Many sites have recipes you can compare. Wholesale supplies plus has a million recipes, Lotioncrafter…etc If you really want to learn Swiftcraftymonkey blog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
