Cream Formulation Steps and Stability Issue (Missing Emulsifier)

Okay, I understand you're new to making cream and have provided a percentage formula and asked for the steps, including whether heat is needed.

Based on the ingredients you listed and the percentage formula you provided:

• Nanowhite 5 %
• Hyaluronic Acid 0.1 %
• Azelaic Acid 10 %
• Copper Peptide 3 %
• Silicone Gel Base 5 %
• Cyclomethicone 20 %
• Water 56.9 %

Total: 100%

I noticed that your original list of materials included Warp Cream Maker™, but this ingredient is not present in your percentage formula.

Warp Cream Maker™ is a crucial ingredient in this context because it acts as a water-in-oil/silicone emulsifier. Its purpose is to bind the water phase (containing water, Hyaluronic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Copper Peptide, and Nanowhite) with the silicone/oil phase (containing Cyclomethicone and Silicone Gel Base). Without an emulsifier like Warp Cream Maker™, the water and silicone/oil ingredients will not mix and form a stable cream; they will separate.

Therefore, the percentage formula you provided is incomplete and will not result in a stable cream. I cannot provide a step-by-step guide for a formula that is missing the essential component for creating the cream structure.

Regarding your question about heat, the need for heat depends on the specific emulsifier or cream base used. For Warp Cream Maker™, the product description indicates that high-speed blending (at least 1000 rpm) is required to create the emulsion by gradually adding the water phase to the oil/silicone phase. Heat is generally not needed for this type of emulsifier unless the formula contains ingredients like waxes that require melting. Your current list of ingredients does not include waxes, so heat would likely not be necessary for emulsification if you were using Warp Cream Maker™ in the formula.

To proceed, you would need to revise your percentage formula to include Warp Cream Maker™. A typical usage rate for Warp Cream Maker™ is 1-30%. You would need to decide on a percentage for Warp Cream Maker™ and reduce the percentage of other ingredients (most likely the water or silicone/oil phase components) so that the total still adds up to 100%.

Once you have a complete percentage formula that includes Warp Cream Maker™ (or another suitable emulsifier/base), I can provide more specific guidance on the mixing steps.

I have found information on the following ingredients you listed:

• Warp Cream Maker™ (ID 288)
• Azelaic Acid (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate) (ID 125190)
• Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) (IDs 272 and 875)
• Cyclomethicone / Cyclopentasiloxane (ID 171)
• Silicone Gel Base (Ultra Clear) (ID 201)
• Hyaluronic Acid (Nano Molecule) (IDs 35933 and 35934)
• (Note: I could not find specific product information for "Nanowhite" among the search results for the ingredients you listed.)

Please provide an updated percentage formula that includes Warp Cream Maker™ so I can assist you further with the steps.
