Mixing Small Batches of Cream with a Milk Frother

It is indeed possible to use a small milk frother to mix small batches of cream (50-100g) for personal use, especially when storing the cream in the refrigerator without preservatives. As other users and our staff have confirmed, a milk frother can provide the high-speed mixing needed to properly incorporate ingredients.

One potential side effect of using a milk frother is the creation of foam in the cream. While this foam does not affect the efficacy of your formulation, it might make the texture less aesthetically pleasing. The foam typically dissipates over time.

To help reduce the amount of foam, you can consider adding a silicone ingredient to your formulation. Silicones like Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear, Super Silky) or Silicone Gel (Medium Gloss, Natural Olive Oil Base) can help improve the texture and reduce foaming. Other silicone options include Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Isododecane Base), Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Cyclopentasiloxane Base), or Silicone Gel (High Gloss, Dimethicone Base), depending on the desired properties of your final cream.

Regarding containers, it's best to use materials that are inert and will not react with your ingredients. Glass containers are generally a safe and excellent choice for mixing and storing cosmetic formulations. High-quality plastic containers made from materials like HDPE, PP, or PET are also usually suitable.

While our website offers larger blending equipment suitable for bigger batch sizes, a small tool like a milk frother is a practical and effective alternative for mixing the small quantities you require (50-100g). Just ensure the mixing is thorough to achieve a smooth, uniform cream texture.
