Answer

Comparing Satin Cream Maker and SiliSolve Plus for Emulsifying Water, Silicone, and Oil

Both Satin Cream Maker and SiliSolve Plus can be used to emulsify formulations containing water, oil, and silicone, but they have different properties and recommended usage methods.

  • Satin Cream Maker: This is an emulsifier and thickener that is added to the water phase. It can emulsify water-silicone or water-silicone-oil systems. It can handle up to 25% oil and recommends silicones not exceeding 20% of the formula.
  • SiliSolve Plus: This ingredient is specifically designed to combine water, oil, and silicone. It is added to the silicone/oil phase, and the water phase is gradually added to it. It can handle a total oil and silicone content of up to 30% of the formula.

In summary, while both can emulsify water, oil, and silicone, their maximum oil/silicone capacity and mixing procedures differ.
