Experimenting with Moist Cream Maker and Xanthan Gum Ratios in Cream Formulation
Question
Hello! I have purchased several extracts and products to make my own skin cream. I still have some lingering questions about using emulsifiers to create the cream texture. I have read forum posts but they are not very clear, so I wanted to do some basic experiments myself and share some of the results. I experimented with Moist Cream Maker at different ratios in 3 samples: Sample 1: Oil 10% + Moist Cream Maker 1.5% + Xanthan Gum 0.5%; Sample 2: Oil 40% + Moist Cream Maker 3% + Xanthan Gum 0.5%; Sample 3: Oil 25% + Moist Cream Maker 2% + Xanthan Gum 0.5%.
Answer
Hello! Thank you for sharing your experimental results with Moist Cream Maker and Xanthan Gum.
It's great that you are exploring different ratios to understand how they affect the final cream texture. Your three examples show variations in oil content (10%, 40%, 25%) and Moist Cream Maker concentration (1.5%, 3%, 2%), while keeping Xanthan Gum constant at 0.5%.
This kind of hands-on testing is very valuable for learning about formulation.
Do you have any specific observations about the texture, stability, or feel of each sample? Or any questions about optimizing the ratios or the properties of these ingredients? Feel free to share more details or ask anything you need!
