Question

What is the appropriate mixing method (hand mixing vs. blender) for formulations using `Light Lotion Maker (Glyceryl Oleate Citrate)`? Does the required method depend on the type of formula, such as liquid/spray versus gel/cream formulations that may also contain `Gel Maker` or `thickeners`?

Answer

Regarding the use of Light Lotion Maker (Glyceryl Oleate Citrate), whether you can mix by hand or need a blender depends on the formula's consistency:

  • For liquid formulas (like sprays): A blender is required to ensure the Light Lotion Maker functions optimally and maintains stability.
  • For gel or cream formulas: Hand mixing is possible. These formulas typically use thickeners (like Gel Makers) in conjunction with Light Lotion Maker, and their inherent thickness provides good stability.
