Incorporating Oil into a Formula with Cetyl Alcohol and BTAC

Based on the information provided, the staff has already indicated that the ingredients in your formula, specifically Cetyl Alcohol and BTAC, can act as emulsifiers to incorporate oil. Luxury Cream Maker is not suitable for this formula.

To successfully incorporate oil into your formula using Cetyl Alcohol and BTAC, you need to follow the correct mixing procedure and temperature guidelines provided by the staff.

Here is the information based on the previous replies:

1. Emulsifier: The formula itself contains Cetyl Alcohol and BTAC which function as emulsifiers/conditioners and should be able to incorporate oil. Luxury Cream Maker is not suitable.
2. Maximum Oil Percentage: The maximum amount of oil you can add depends on the specific type of oil and the overall composition of your formula. The staff asked about the type and quantity of oil you wish to add because this information is needed to determine if the current emulsifying system is sufficient or if an additional emulsifier is required, and what the potential maximum oil percentage could be. Please provide the type and amount of oil you want to add for more specific guidance.
3. Mixing Steps and Temperature: The key is to heat the ingredients correctly.
   • Heat the water phase and the oil phase (containing Cetyl Alcohol, BTAC, and the oil you want to add) separately to a temperature of 70-80°C.
   • Once both phases are at a similar temperature (70-80°C), slowly add the oil phase to the water phase while stirring continuously.
   • Maintain stirring until the mixture cools down and an emulsion forms.

If you are experiencing separation, it might be due to insufficient heating or mixing speed/duration during the emulsification process. Ensure both phases are fully heated to 70-80°C before combining and mix thoroughly until cool.

Please let me know the type and percentage of oil you wish to add so I can provide more tailored advice.
