    This document provides a basic cream formula consisting of: 40-60% water or other liquids like aloe vera gel or vegetable glycerin. 0-2% thickener like stearic acid. 6-9% emulsion agent like emulsifying wax. 20-35% combination of carrier oils and butters. 0.5-1% fragrance. 0.1-0.5% preservative. The formula is intended as a starting point that can be modified through experimentation. Creams generally have less water and more oils/butters than lotions, making them richer and thicker with slower absorption.

    This is a very basic cream recipe formula that you can use to start formulating your own recipes. Not all
    recipes will have all ingredients listed here in them. This is simply a basic formula designed to use as a
    reference when making your own formulas. You should feel free to play with these percentages and
    experiment when creating your own masterpiece creations. Don’t worry too much about making
    mistakes or formulas that don’t work out perfectly. Keep experimenting and you will get there!

    Keep in mind when creating a cream recipe that in general creams are rich and thick and in general take
    longer to absorb into the skin than lotion. Creams have less water and more oils and butters than lotion.
