Formulating Milk Lotion: Emulsifier Comparison and Preservation with Milk Protein

For making milk lotion with a thin, white texture and including Hydrolyzed Milk Casein Protein and Goat Milk Powder:

• Emulsifier: We recommend using Milk Lotion Maker at 4%. This will help achieve the desired thin, white lotion texture without needing to use other gel or cream makers.
• Emulsifier Alternative: Light Cream Maker is another option that provides a milk-like texture, although with a different feel. It is a cold-process emulsifier (does not require heat) and is easier to use than Milk Lotion Maker.
• Hydrolyzed Milk Casein Protein and Goat Milk Powder: These can be used in the formula at approximately 1-2%.
• Important Note on Preservatives: Since milk protein ingredients are prone to microbial growth, it is essential to use a sufficient amount of preservative in the formula. We recommend using Thyme Care at 0.8% and may consider adding 1,2-Hexanediol at 3% to boost preservative effectiveness. However, it is advisable to send the product for microbial testing to ensure safety, especially if producing for sale.
