Colour references and sensory targets for your next matched lab comparison.
- 01Cushioned pick-up
- 02Long, even glide with no graininess
- 03Clean daily finish without wax drag
Design targets to compare in C0/T1, not measured sensory results for your formula.
- 01Compare C0 and T1 directly from the pack
- 02Rate the profile during full-face spread
- 03Check residual after five minutes
Open input: run a blind C0/T1 odour comparison before choosing fragrance or flavour.
No Parfum or Aroma is listed in this source formula. The base and AHE can still have an intrinsic odour.

Process skeleton
- 01Heat water and oil phases separately to 80°C.
- 02Add the oil phase to the water phase under homogenisation.
- 03Add the rheology phase, cool under controlled stirring and finish homogenisation.
- 04Produce the AHE-free control and every AHE variant with the same process.
Boundary: The balance-only calculator changes Peat Extract against Aqua. It does not revalidate emulsification, preservation, colour, rheology, safety or performance.

Select the visual target for the matched batch.
No colour is preselected. A reference documents an observed colour family; it does not prescribe the project AHE level.

Barely-there mineralVisible taupe signatureAirless-pack finish
The same documented day-cream base photographed across a 0.1–1.5% AHE ladder: pale beige develops towards grey taupe as the level increases.
Use this as a base-specific visual reference, not as a universal colour prediction for another emulsion.- Material expression
- From pale beige to grey taupe, selected intentionally for the desired level of material presence.
- Sensory character
- A refined, cushiony emulsion with a clean finish and premium daily-use rhythm.
- Formulator's hook
- Use one base and a controlled AHE ladder to choose colour, rheology and packaging together.

Original formulation colour evidence
Dark raw material. More than one finished colour outcome.
Vehicle, opacity, pigments, AHE level, process and use state shape the finished expression.
What this proves: a dark ingredient does not force one dark finished-product aesthetic. What it does not prove: a universal shade prediction. Confirm colour in the matched batch under fixed lighting.

For the R&D team turning an idea into its own base
Keep the material and process choices visible.
Six parameters connect the creative direction to the complete base while ingredient specification, guide experience and finished-product responsibilities remain separate.
- Current ingredient specification
- Request current version
- Formulation vehicle
- Define the complete system
- Addition and process
- Confirm for the format
- Colour and texture
- Evaluate in the exact base
- Low-viscosity formats
- Plan physical stability
- Finished product
- Validate independently
Use the controlled specification applicable to the project and supplied material.
Vehicle, water phase, rheology and other materials can change dispersion and appearance.
Review order of addition, temperature history, shear and homogenisation for the complete formula.
AHE load, base colour, opacity, particle distribution and packaging visibility shape the final expression.
Assess settling, redispersion, use instructions and packaging in the target system.
Confirm stability, microbiology, safety, packaging, performance and claims.
