Question

How should I add Rice Vitamin and NaturePreserve™ to a cream formulation? Specifically, should they be added to the water phase or oil phase, and at what step (e.g., before heating, after emulsification)?

Answer

Based on the suggested method provided by the staff:

  • Both Rice Vitamin and natural preserve (NaturePreserve™) are listed as part of the water phase.
  • In this method, the water phase ingredients (including Rice Vitamin and natural preserve) are mixed together before being warmed and combined with the oil phase.
  • Therefore, you would add the Rice Vitamin and natural preserve to your water phase ingredients before heating the water phase.
  • While some preservatives are added during the cooling phase, this specific method incorporates the natural preserve into the water phase which is then heated as part of the emulsification process.
