Emulsifier and Preservative for Coconut Oil Hair Mask Formulation

Regarding your questions about formulating a hair mask with herbal ingredients and coconut oil:

1. You asked if Light Cream Maker can be used to emulsify coconut oil and herbs and prevent oil separation, the required percentage for 5% coconut oil, and the temperature for addition. The staff advises that Light Cream Maker is not suitable for regular coconut oil due to its tendency to solidify. They recommend using Butter Cream Maker (ID 1041), Soft Cream Maker (ID 707), or Milk Lotion Maker (ID 1040) at a concentration of 4% to emulsify 5-25% of coconut oil. Please check the specific product details page for detailed usage instructions, including the temperature.
2. You asked about the percentage of Phenoxyethanol SA (Optiphen Plus) to use. The staff provided the recommended usage rate: 0.5-1.25%. Specifically, use up to 0.5% for eye products, 1.0% for products in closed containers, and 1.25% for products in open containers (like jars).
3. You asked about the smallest size available for testing. The staff stated that the available sizes for purchase are listed on the product page on the website.
