I just tried your recipe, except that, because I cannot get E-Wax here (only Ear Wax :lol: ) I used a combination of polysorbate-20 and glycerol stearate, calculated on the HLB method, for the emulsifier. Oh, I also changed the cocoa butter for shea butter.

I didn't expect it to get thick enough because of all the liquid oils, but surprisingly, it came out perfectly well after some time 'resting'.

I tried it on myself. For me, it has too much % lipids; it was about an hour before the oil film disappeared and I prefer a cream to absorb within minutes and leave the skin matte, not shiny. But it did absorb in the end. This would make a good night cream but not a day cream unless you don't have to go out and about. I think it might be a bit expensive, with all that jojoba! I used high oleic sunflower oil, I guess that's what you used?
Anyway, I thought it rather good, especially since it is uncomplicated.

Yeah, definitely shy away from the ear wax! Haha. I can relate on how long it takes to set up. I was worried too and it took a lot of stick blending and then resting to get it but it seems like once it started to set, it set fairly quickly. I must say I'm surprised it took an hour to soak in. When I apply it, it only takes a small amount to go pretty far. It soaks in in about 5 minutes. I can apply, wait 5 minutes and immediately put on my makeup with no problems. I don't know if it is the change in emulsifying agents? Also, I don't think my sunflower oil is high oleic. I bought it at the grocery store. And, other than purchasing it as high oleic, I don't think I would be able to know if it is or not. I think I read that High Oleic Sunflower Oil is a tad "greasier" than non high oleic. I'm glad you like it though. I did consider adding some tapioca starch to add some silkiness to it but I am not sure. Once I get through this batch (I only made 8 oz and it seems to last for a minute since it doesn't take much) I will play with it some. I need to get my daughter to use it too so I can play again. Hehe... I've been using it for a week or so now and I love it. I use it at night or in the morning and I can see a difference in my skin. I only use it on my face and neck though. I can't use lotions or creams on my hands since I own saltwater tanks and never know when my hands and arms may need to go in the tank.

Instead of trying a starch, try sorbitol. It is a good humectant and will add body to the cream. Pretty easy to get hold of, caterers and cake companies use it all the time.
