Facial Night Cream Formulation
$ 60
Description
Facial night creams are skincare products specifically formulated to be used during the nighttime as part of a skincare routine. These creams are typically richer and more nourishing than day creams, as they are designed to provide deep hydration and repair the skin while you sleep.
Formulating a facial night cream requires careful consideration of various ingredients to address specific skin concerns and provide nourishment and hydration while minimizing irritation. Here’s a basic formulation guideline for a facial night cream:
Facial Cream Ingredients
- Base Ingredients:
- Water (Aqua): The primary solvent.
- Emulsifiers: To combine oil and water phases (e.g., cetearyl alcohol and ceteareth-20).
- Preservatives: To extend the shelf life and prevent microbial growth (e.g., phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin).
- Thickening Agents: To achieve the desired cream consistency (e.g., xanthan gum).
- Oils and Butters:
- Carrier Oils: These provide moisture and nourishment to the skin (e.g., jojoba oil, argan oil, evening primrose oil).
- Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter: For added richness and moisturization.
- Active Ingredients:
- Consider the skin concerns you want to address. Common actives include:
- Retinol (for anti-aging).
- Niacinamide (for brightening and anti-acne).
- Hyaluronic acid (for hydration).
- Peptides (for collagen production).
- Antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C or E) for protection against environmental damage.
- Consider the skin concerns you want to address. Common actives include:

Facial night cream Formulation Steps
- Sanitization: Ensure all equipment and containers are clean and sanitized to prevent contamination.
- Weighing: Measure the required amount of each ingredient carefully using a digital scale.
- Heating and Melting: Melt the oils and butters using gentle heat. Separately, heat the water phase to a similar temperature.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour the water phase into the oil phase while stirring continuously. Use an immersion blender for thorough emulsification.
- Cooling: Allow the mixture to cool while stirring gently.
- Adding Actives and Special Ingredients: Once the mixture reaches a specific temperature (usually below 40°C or 104°F), add the active ingredients, humectants, specialty ingredients, and fragrance oils. Stir well.
- pH Adjustment: Check the pH of the cream and adjust it if necessary using citric acid or sodium hydroxide.
- Preservation: Add the preservatives and mix thoroughly to prevent microbial growth.
- Packaging: Transfer the cream into clean, airtight containers to prevent contamination.
- Labeling: Clearly label your product with ingredients, usage instructions, and any precautions.
