Problem with Easy Cream Maker Lumping and Mixing Method
คำถาม
I am making a cream with Easy Cream Maker and the following ingredients:
- Distilled Water
- MSH White
- Activated Resorcinol
- Safe-B3 (Niacinamide)
- GlucoBright (Acetyl Glucosamine)
- WhiteCumin
- Pentylene Glycol
When I add Easy Cream Maker to the water phase containing these ingredients, it forms lumps and doesn't dissolve properly. What is the correct mixing method to achieve a smooth cream texture?
คำตอบ
Correct Mixing Method
- Create the Oil Phase: Combine a suitable cosmetic oil or lipid (not listed in your formula, you will need to add one) with MSH White and Activated Resorcinol. Heat this phase to around 80°C to ensure MSH White and Activated Resorcinol fully dissolve, as recommended in their product descriptions.
- Add Easy Cream Maker to the Oil Phase: Once the oil phase is heated and the powders are dissolved, add the Easy Cream Maker to this heated oil phase and stir well.
- Create the Water Phase: In a separate beaker, combine distilled water, Safe-B3 (Niacinamide), GlucoBright (Acetyl Glucosamine), WhiteCumin, and Pentylene Glycol. Stir until everything is dissolved.
- Combine Phases: Gradually add the water phase to the oil phase while continuously stirring or blending. Continue blending until a smooth, creamy texture is achieved. Avoid over-blending, which can weaken the cream structure.
- Cooling and Final Adjustments: Allow the cream to cool. You may need to stir occasionally during cooling. Check the pH and adjust if necessary (Easy Cream Maker works best in a pH range of 2.5-11, but considering the other ingredients, a pH between 4.5-7.0 is generally suitable for skin products).
Alternative Emulsifier
If you continue to experience lumping or instability, especially due to the presence of electrolytes from ingredients like Activated Resorcinol (with EDTA) or others, consider using Light Cream Maker. Light Cream Maker is similar to Easy Cream Maker but is compatible with electrolytes, making it more forgiving for complex formulations like yours.
By including a proper oil phase and following the correct mixing procedure for Easy Cream Maker, you should be able to achieve a stable cream texture. If electrolyte incompatibility becomes an issue, switching to Light Cream Maker is a good solution.
