Adjusting Cream Texture: Butter-like, Non-sticky, Non-lumpy
คำถาม
I am trying to make a cream base with a butter-like texture. However, my current attempt is not hard enough, feels sticky, and is lumpy. Could you provide a formula and guidance on how to achieve a hard, non-sticky texture and avoid lumpiness?
คำตอบ
Hello, regarding the issues you reported about your cream base not being hard enough, being sticky, and lumpy:
Based on the previous advice from our staff, they recommended a "Butter Cream" formula as follows:
- Water 75%
- Cetyl Alcohol 10%
- Fractionated Coconut Oil 10%
- Butter Cream Maker™ 4%
- Phenoxyethanol SA 1%
And they provided guidance on adjusting the texture:
- To increase hardness, you can increase the proportion of Cetyl Alcohol.
- If the skin feels sticky, reduce the Fractionated Coconut Oil.
Therefore, if you want the cream texture to be harder like butter and less sticky, we recommend trying this base formula and then gradually adjusting by increasing Cetyl Alcohol and decreasing Fractionated Coconut Oil as advised.
Regarding the issue of lumpiness, this might be related to the mixing process. We recommend ensuring that you heat and stir the water phase and oil phase until well combined, mix the two phases while they are still hot, and continue stirring until the cream starts to set.
We hope this advice helps you achieve the desired cream texture.
