Cream Formulation Pilling Issue
คำถาม
My cream formulation is experiencing pilling (flaking) when applied. The formula uses Light Cream Maker at 1% and contains PowderCream at a high concentration of 10-15%. The formulation lacks sufficient oil, silicone, or emollients (such as the LipidSoft group).
I mixed the ingredients using a cake mixer.
What could be the reason for the pilling?
คำตอบ
Based on the discussion, the most likely cause of the pilling (flaking) issue with your cream formulation is the high concentration of PowderCream (10-15%) you added. PowderCream at such high levels typically requires a base with sufficient oil, silicone, or emollients, which your formula seems to lack.
To address this, the recommended solution is to replace the PowderCream with ingredients specifically designed for oil absorption that can be used at lower concentrations, such as SelectSorb or MatteSilica S™. Using either of these at around 3% is suggested. This should help control oil effectively while significantly reducing the risk of pilling.
The mixing method (using a cake mixer) might also play a role as it may not provide enough shear force for complete emulsification, but the high PowderCream concentration is considered the primary factor.
