Answer

Choosing an Emulsifier for Your Cream

Thank you for your question! While I cannot see the image you provided to match the exact texture, I can recommend several emulsifiers commonly used to create cream textures. The best choice depends on the specific feel and properties you want your cream to have.

Here are a few options based on their characteristics:

  • LeciCream™: This natural emulsifier is suitable for creating heavy creams.
  • Emulsifying Beeswax (Non-Ionic, Natural): This natural option acts as both an emulsifier and thickener. It's great for creating creams that can coat the skin well, suitable for dry skin, balms, and ointments.
  • Sucrose Cream Maker™: This emulsifier creates a lightweight, non-oily cream with a silky, velvety, and pleasantly gliding feel. It helps form stable emulsions with a lamellar structure.
  • Emulsifying Wax 1000 (e.q. Emulgade 1000 NI): A widely used emulsifying wax that helps create and stabilize creams and lotions. It also acts as a thickener in oil-in-water emulsions.
  • CreamMaker EG™: This ingredient functions as both a thickener and stabilizer. It can improve textures and produce supple gels or light creams with a soft feel, even suitable for cold process formulations.

Consider the desired richness, feel (light vs. heavy, oily vs. non-oily), and natural preference when selecting the most suitable emulsifier for your formulation.
