Regarding LotionBliss

Based on the information, LotionBliss primarily functions as an emulsifier, helping oil and water phases mix together. It does not provide significant thickness or viscosity to the final product. This is why your mixture remained liquid even after emulsifying.

To achieve a cream or lotion consistency, you need to add a separate thickener to your formulation. Common thickeners include:

• Xanthan Gum
• Cetearyl Alcohol
• Light Cream Maker™
• Easy Cream Maker™

You can adjust the amount of the thickener to achieve your desired viscosity.

Regarding Rich Cream Maker

Yes, your understanding is correct. When using Rich Cream Maker (or similar cream makers like Soft Cream Maker™), adding the water phase gradually to the oil phase (or the cream maker itself, depending on the specific product's instructions) while stirring is a correct method. This technique helps the emulsion form and thicken more easily, especially when mixing by hand. Adding the water all at once can make it harder to achieve the desired cream consistency quickly.
