Answer
Mixing Fragrance into Cream using Satin Cream Maker
Here is a general guide on how to mix the ingredients you listed to create a fragranced cream using Satin Cream Maker:
Ingredients:
- Water
- Satin Cream Maker (Product ID 247)
- Fractionated Coconut Oil (Product ID 169)
- Fragrance (น้ำหอม) (Product ID 319)
- Flora Fix (Product ID 3344)
General Mixing Steps:
- Prepare the Water Phase: Measure your desired amount of water.
- Incorporate Satin Cream Maker: Add the Satin Cream Maker to the water phase. Stir or mix until it is fully dispersed. Satin Cream Maker is often a cold-process or low-heat emulsifier, so heating the water phase might not be necessary, or only gentle warming. Refer to the specific product instructions for optimal temperature if available.
- Prepare the Oil Phase: Measure your desired amount of Fractionated Coconut Oil.
- Combine Phases: Slowly add the oil phase (Fractionated Coconut Oil) to the water phase containing the Satin Cream Maker while continuously stirring or mixing. Continue mixing until a stable emulsion (cream) forms.
- Add Fragrance and Flora Fix: Once the cream has formed and cooled down to below 40-45°C (lukewarm), mix your desired amount of Fragrance and Flora Fix together, perhaps using a small amount of Fractionated Coconut Oil as a carrier if needed. Add this mixture to the cream.
- Final Mix: Stir thoroughly to ensure the fragrance and fixative are evenly distributed throughout the cream.
Important Notes:
- Percentages: The exact percentages for each ingredient will depend on your desired consistency and fragrance strength. Typical usage for fragrance in creams is around 0.1% - 1%. Flora Fix is usually used at a ratio to the fragrance (e.g., 1:1 or 2:1 Flora Fix to Fragrance). Satin Cream Maker and Fractionated Coconut Oil percentages will determine the cream's texture and richness. Start with small batches to test your formula.
- Testing: Always test a small amount of the finished product on your skin to check for any irritation or sensitivity.
- Preservation: For any product containing water, a preservative is essential to prevent microbial growth. The ingredients you listed do not include a preservative. You should add a suitable broad-spectrum preservative according to the manufacturer's recommended usage rate.
