Understanding Electrolytes and Light Cream Maker

Thank you for your feedback. You are correct that salt (which is an electrolyte) can cause issues when formulating with Light Cream Maker.

Based on the product information for Light Cream Maker, it is an emulsifier and thickener that can tolerate some electrolytes. However, it cannot be used in high electrolyte formulations.

Electrolytes are substances containing ions like Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, or Potassium. Salt (Sodium Chloride) contains Sodium, making it an electrolyte. When electrolytes are present in a formula using Light Cream Maker, they can cause the cream to soften or become less viscous. While increasing the concentration of Light Cream Maker can help compensate for low levels of electrolytes, there is a limit to how much it can tolerate before the formulation becomes unstable or loses its desired texture.

Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the electrolyte content, including salt, when using Light Cream Maker in a formulation.
