Why Choose Natural Skincare Ingredients?

Natural skincare ingredients are gaining popularity for their skin-friendly properties and environmental benefits. They are less likely to cause irritation and are better for the planet. Opting for high-quality cosmetic raw materials from trusted suppliers like Bio Shop™ Pakistan ensures you are using the best components available. Natural ingredients can provide various benefits, such as moisturizing, anti-aging, and soothing properties that work harmoniously with your skin.

Benefits of High-Quality Ingredients

• Safety and Purity: Quality ingredients undergo rigorous testing for purity and safety.
• Potency and Efficacy: High-quality ingredients retain their beneficial properties longer, providing better skincare results.
• Ethical Sourcing: Trusted suppliers prioritize ethical and sustainable sourcing, reducing environmental impact.

Understanding Cosmetic Raw Materials

Before diving into the formulation process, let's understand some basic components of cosmetic formulations:

• Emulsifiers: Essential for combining oil and water to form a stable cream.
• Thickeners: Provide the desired consistency to the cream.
• Actives: Ingredients that offer specific skincare benefits.
• Preservatives: Prevent microbial growth to ensure product safety.

For your DIY face cream, you can find a wide range of cosmetic raw materials, including emulsifiers and thickeners at Bio Shop™ Pakistan.

DIY Face Cream Recipe

Basic Recipe for Natural Face Cream

Ingredients Needed:

1. Water Phase:

• Distilled Water: 300 ml
• Glycerin: 30 ml (humectant to attract moisture)

1. Oil Phase:

• Carrier Oil: 50 ml (such as Carrier Oils, for example, almond or jojoba oil)
• Beeswax or Emulsifying Wax: 20 g (helps blend the oil and water)

1. Active Ingredients:

• Aloe Vera Extract: 30 ml (soothes and hydrates the skin)
• Vitamin E Oil: 10 ml (antioxidant that protects the skin)

1. Preservative:

• Natural preservative like Leucidal Liquid: 5 ml (to maintain product safety and longevity)

1. Essential Oil:

• A few drops of your choice (optional), or explore the selection of Fragrance Oils.

Steps to Create the Face Cream

1. Prepare the Water Phase: In a heat-resistant glass bowl, combine distilled water and glycerin. Heat gently over a water bath until the solution reaches around 70°C.
2. Prepare the Oil Phase: In a separate bowl, combine the carrier oil and beeswax. Heat over a separate water bath until fully melted and reaches 70°C.
3. Blend the Phases: Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously stirring with a hand mixer or a whisk. This action forms the emulsion which will start to thicken as it cools down.
4. Add Active Ingredients: Once cooled to around 30-40°C, add the aloe vera extract, vitamin E oil, and preservative. Stir well to incorporate into the emulsion.
5. Fragrance and Final Touches: If desired, add essential or fragrance oils for a pleasant scent. Stir to mix evenly.
6. Cool and Store: Pour the cream into cleaned, sterilized containers. Label with the date and ingredients for easy reference. Store in a cool, dry place.

Safety Tips for DIY Skincare

Creating cosmetics at home requires some precautions:

• Clean Environment: Ensure all tools, surfaces, and containers are sanitized to prevent contamination.
• Patch Test: Always do a patch test of the final product to check for any allergic reactions.
• Measure Accurately: Use a digital scale for precise measurements to ensure the efficacy and safety of your formulation.
• Storage: Store products in airtight, dark containers to extend shelf life and maintain potency.
