This is a PDF formulation for day cream with a firm but light consistency. I have used a combination of two emulsifiers, palm free Montanov 202 and cationic, skin conditioning Varisoft EQ 65. This is a simple, oil free formulation containing fractionated coconut and coco caprylate/caprate as the lipids. These add a decent amount of slip or playtime during application and give a moderately dry skin feel. Glycerin and propanediol are the chosen humectants and will draw moisture to the skin, while myrica fruit wax keeps it there. Finally this cream contains Aquaderm™ SP. This ingredient contains a combination of natural moisturising factor ingredients that mimick those found in the skin designed to maintain optimum skin barrier function.
