Question
Can Satin Cream Maker replace Pro Polymer in a formula containing:
- DMAE Liquid 20%
- LipidSoft Lite 4%
Answer
Based on the staff's response, Satin Cream Maker cannot directly replace Pro Polymer in your formula.
Here's the explanation:
- Pro Polymer is highlighted for its ability to create texture even with high levels of electrolytes in a formula.
- Satin Cream Maker is noted for its ability to emulsify a higher amount of oil compared to other cream makers.
- Your formula contains 20% DMAE Liquid, which is a high electrolyte ingredient.
- The staff explains that Pro Polymer is suitable for your formula precisely because it can handle this high electrolyte content.
- Although your formula also contains LipidSoft Lite (4%), which is an oil, the amount is relatively low. Pro Polymer can handle the emulsification of this amount of oil without issues.
- The staff mentions that Satin Cream Maker would be recommended together with Pro Polymer if the formula had a high oil content, but in this case, with high electrolytes and low oil, Pro Polymer alone is the appropriate choice.
Therefore, due to the high electrolyte concentration from DMAE in your specific formula, Pro Polymer is the correct ingredient to use, and Satin Cream Maker cannot simply replace it.
