Response to your questions about cream and gel formulation

Based on your questions and the staff's reply, here is a summary of the information:

1. Using Soft Cream Maker (ID 707) for a cream with 30% oil

• Milk Lotion Maker (ID 1040) percentage: The staff recommends using 4% of Milk Lotion Maker.
• Achieving a thicker texture:
  • Light Cream Maker (ID 141) will help with viscosity (thickness when flowing) but not make the texture dense or heavy.
  • Cetearyl Alcohol (ID 480) and Glyceryl Stearate SE (ID 174) will help create a heavier texture. The staff did not specify percentages for these, suggesting they are general options for thickening.

2. Adding active ingredients when using Oil Cream Maker (ID 902)

You can add active ingredients to the water and oil phases before mixing, or add them after the cream has formed. Both methods are possible, depending on your convenience during the mixing process.

3. Choosing a Gel Maker for a clear, oil-free gel scrub with rice bran scrub

Based on the information you provided (clear, oil-free gel scrub with rice bran scrub), you can use any type of Gel Maker (referencing the category including Pro Polymer / Acrylate Crosspolymer, ID 234).

The staff noted that providing additional information, such as the pH level or other components in your formula, would help narrow down the best Gel Maker choice.
