Preparation method:
Preparation of phase A: mix the first 4 ingredients in a glass. The emulsifier is transferred to a bowl, and with the help of a mini whisk it is mixed for 10-20 seconds, to absorb air. It will turn slightly white. Gradually add the mixture of the 4 ingredients, as in the preparation of a mayonnaise. The gel should become opaque and more viscous, in no case should it become liquefied. The procedure takes approximately 5 minutes.

Preparation of phase B: place the pigments in a bowl over which add about half the amount of esseSol and mix thoroughly to disperse the pigments as well as possible. Use the back of a teaspoon to press the composition on the wall of the bowl. After a homogeneous paste is obtained, add the remaining esseSol and mix well.

Preparation of phase C: in a glass mix well the floral water and niacinamide, then sprinkle xanthan gum and mix vigorously until the gum is completely dispersed. The composition is left to rest for a few minutes to form a gel.

Combine phase C with B: add the composition of phase B over the gel and mix well.

Emulsification: the solution resulting from the combination of phase C + B is added over phase A, gradually, with continuous mixing. Homogenize for 1-2 minutes.

Final phase: the resulting composition is completed with the ingredients of phase D, which are added one at a time, in the order given by the recipe with mixing after each. The resulting cream is transferred to the dedicated container. pH: ~ 6.5

The result result is a complex cream with a rich content of active ingredients, generally suitable for any skin type. It has a light texture, is comfortable on the skin, gives a satin finish and has a pleasant fine scent.
Properties: anti-aging, nourishing, moisturizing, antioxidant, slightly sun protective, elasticizing and tensing, illuminating and unifying.

Options and explanations::

neroli water can be replaced with another floral water, depending on preferences and its properties, with the mention that this is the only ingredient that perfumes the cream
the shade of the cream on the skin is light-medium. In order to obtain a lighter shade, the amount of pigments will be reduced by up to half, for darker shades their amount will be proportionally supplemented by 40-50% or more. No adjustments to the other ingredients are required. Extra pigments can be added at the end, but require long homogenization to disperse them evenly
white lily oil can be replaced with another vegetable oil depending on the skin type, for example for dry skin you can work with argan, rosehip or safflower oil
magnesium stearate provides a pleasant feeling on the skin, contributes to the texture and consistency of the cream, therefore we do not recommend replacing or removing it from the formula
for dry skin, a slightly more oily cream can be obtained as follows: phase A will be supplemented with + 5% vegetable oil of your choice and + 2% Alfa emulsifier; the percentage of neroli water will be reduced accordingly
instead of cosgard you can use fragard (same amount)
