🕰️ Brief History:

The use of cream bases became increasingly popular as home formulation and aromatherapy grew during the late 20th century. Rather than creating emulsions from raw ingredients, formulators and hobbyists began using professionally prepared cream bases that could be customized with active ingredients and fragrances.

This approach allows users to:

• Save time during formulation
• Improve product consistency
• Easily create personalized skincare products
• Incorporate essential oils and botanical extracts safely.

Escentia developed Escentia Natural Cream Base 500ml as part of its DIY aromatherapy and natural skincare range.
