centella oil can be replaced with opuntia or camellia oil; instead of borage oil you can use evening primrose, argan or safflower oil
sea buckthorn oil can be replaced with blackcurrant or raspberry oil for example
the essential oil can be neglected in the recipe if you do not want to perfume the cream, or can be replaced with another essential oil according to your preferences and skin type
the cream can also be enriched with ceramide (in which case phase A will be heated to at least 80°C)
part of the borage or centella oil can be replaced with a fat-soluble active, for example: acmella CO2 extract, coenzyme Q10, marigold CO2 extract, schisandra CO2 extract (follow the dosages indicated in each product sheet)

As far as I know, glycerine is water soluble. Will the small quantity stay stable??

  Dear Helen, glycerine is indeed water soluble, but it is a glycol which in small dosage can be incorporated into solid anhydrous compositions, and these remain stable.
