How to Make Hard Pearl Cream (Balm Type)

For pearl cream requiring a hard texture, it is often formulated as a balm, which is an anhydrous (water-free) formula. This helps achieve a thicker and harder consistency by using ingredients that build the balm structure in the oil phase and incorporating pearl powder for the pearlescent appearance.

Here is a basic sample formula for a hard pearl cream balm (100% formula):

• Ingredients:

  • Oil (e.g., Mineral Oil or other desired oils): 70%
  • Oil Thick™ Hard: 10% (Helps create a hard texture in the oil phase)
  • Pearl Powder (Pure, Fine, 200 Mesh): 20% (Provides the pearlescent appearance and skin benefits)

• Instructions:

  1. Combine the oil and Oil Thick™ Hard in a heat-resistant container.
  2. Heat to approximately 80-90°C. Stir or mix until the Oil Thick™ Hard is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear and homogeneous.
  3. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Add the Pearl Powder and stir or blend thoroughly to disperse the powder evenly throughout the balm base.
  5. Pour the mixture into your desired container while it is still liquid.
  6. Allow it to cool and solidify to obtain the hard pearl cream balm.

Important Notes:

• This formula is a basic example. You can adjust the type of oil or add other oil-soluble beneficial ingredients as needed.
• The hardness of the balm can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of Oil Thick™ Hard.
• We cannot provide an exact cost estimate for production, as ingredient prices depend on the quantity purchased and the supplier.
