Alternative Cream Makers

Here are some alternatives to consider:

• Light Cream Maker™: This is an easy-to-use emulsifier that works without heat (cold process). It creates a light, smooth cream texture, can handle up to 20% oil, and has some tolerance for electrolytes. It's a versatile option for many lotion and cream types.
• Easy Cream Maker™: Similar to Light Cream Maker™ as it also works without heat (cold process). It creates a slightly heavier texture and can handle up to 10% oil. However, it does not tolerate electrolytes, so it's best for simpler formulas without ingredients like Sodium Lactate or certain extracts.
• Soft Cream Maker™: If you prefer a soft, luxurious cream texture with a liquid crystal appearance, this is a good choice. It requires heating to around 60-70°C during mixing and takes about 48 hours to fully thicken. It can handle up to 25% oil and is very stable across a wide pH range.
• Moist Cream Maker™: This emulsifier is excellent for creating heavier, more moisturizing creams. It is natural-derived and helps reduce skin water loss. It requires heating to dissolve in the oil phase (around 60°C) and can emulsify up to 40% oil. If your formula contains electrolytes, adding a small amount of Xanthan Gum is recommended for stability.
• Emulsifying Beeswax (Non-Ionic, Natural): This is a natural option that acts as both an emulsifier and thickener. It's great for creating creams, balms, or ointments, especially for dry skin, and provides good skin coating. It needs to be dissolved in the oil phase with heat.

When choosing an alternative, consider:

• Whether you prefer a hot or cold process.
• The desired texture (light, soft, heavy).
• The percentage of oil in your formula.
• Whether your formula contains ingredients with electrolytes.
