Question
What are the functions of `Glyceryl Stearate SE` and `Light Cream Maker` when used together in a cream formulation? Can `Light Cream Maker` be used alone to achieve a light cream texture?
Answer
Regarding the use of Glyceryl Stearate SE with Light Cream Maker:
- When using both ingredients together, Light Cream Maker acts as the primary emulsifier responsible for combining the oil and water phases and providing thickening.
Glyceryl Stearate SE functions as a secondary ingredient to enhance the body and provide a heavier texture to the cream. They perform different roles in the formulation.
Yes, if your formula's oil phase is not more than 20%, you can use Light Cream Maker alone to create a light cream texture.
