Coconut Cream Formulation and Ingredient Availability

Subject: Coconut Cream

Based on the ingredients you provided and the staff's response, the wax-like texture of the cream comes from the Hydrogenated vegetable oil and the natural waxy property of Coconut Oil.

You can use Vaseline as an alternative to Hydrogenated vegetable oil, although Hydrogenated vegetable oil allows for a "natural" claim and is more expensive.

Here are the suggested proportions and method:

Suggested Proportions:

• Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil: 40-50%
• Hydrogenated vegetable oil (or Vaseline): 40-50%
• Tocopherol: 0.5%
• Lavender Oil: 0.5%
• Chamomile blue oil: 0.5%

Method:

1. Heat the main ingredients (Coconut Oil and Hydrogenated vegetable oil or Vaseline) to 50-60°C until they are dissolved and combined.
2. Blend the mixture until it is uniform.
3. Turn off the heat and wait for the temperature to drop below 40°C.
4. Add the remaining ingredients (Tocopherol, Lavender Oil, Chamomile blue oil).
5. Blend again until everything is well combined.

Regarding your question about the specific Hydrogenated vegetable oil, the staff mentioned that it is not currently available but is expected to be in stock by the end of this month.
