Rich Whitening Body Mask Formulation using Rich Cream Maker

Asked by: makewebkorea On: April 17, 2016 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Given that Rich Cream Maker has a lower capacity for emulsifying oils compared to Soft Cream Maker, how can I formulate a rich cream body mask using Rich Cream Maker that also provides a whitening effect? Could you provide a specific formula and instructions for this?

I am looking for a formula with ingredients like:

  • Water
  • Mineral Oil
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Rich Cream Maker
  • Titanium Dioxide Nano EasyDisperse
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Ethoxydiglycol
  • Glycolic Acid (AHA)
  • Alpha Arbutin
  • Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)
  • Phenoxyethanol SA (Preservative)

Answer

Rich Whitening Body Mask Formula (using Rich Cream Maker)

Regarding your question about substituting Soft Cream Maker with Rich Cream Maker in the previous formula, it is generally not recommended. As mentioned previously, Rich Cream Maker has a lower capacity for emulsifying oils compared to Soft Cream Maker. Directly swapping them might lead to an unstable cream texture.

However, you can create a rich cream body mask using Rich Cream Maker. Here is a proposed formula designed for a rich texture and whitening effect:

  • Water: 54.9%
  • Mineral Oil: 10%
  • Cetearyl Alcohol: 8%
  • Rich Cream Maker: 4%
  • Titanium Dioxide Nano EasyDisperse: 5%
  • Propylene Glycol: 5%
  • Ethoxydiglycol: 5%
  • Glycolic Acid (AHA): 5% (Adjust pH to 3.5-4.0 after adding)
  • Alpha Arbutin: 2%
  • Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 0.1%
  • Phenoxyethanol SA (Preservative): 1%

Instructions:

  1. Combine the water phase ingredients (Water, Propylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol). Heat to about 70-75°C.
  2. Combine the oil phase ingredients (Mineral Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Rich Cream Maker, Titanium Dioxide). Heat to about 70-75°C until fully melted and mixed.
  3. Slowly add the oil phase to the water phase while stirring continuously with a high-speed mixer until a homogeneous emulsion forms.
  4. Continue stirring while cooling down to below 40°C.
  5. Add the heat-sensitive ingredients: Alpha Arbutin, Glycolic Acid, Vitamin E, and Phenoxyethanol SA. Mix well.
  6. Adjust the pH of the cream to 3.5-4.0 using a suitable pH adjuster (e.g., Triethanolamine) to ensure the effectiveness of Glycolic Acid. Check the pH with a pH meter or pH strips.
  7. Mix thoroughly until uniform.

This formula should provide a rich cream texture suitable for a body mask with whitening properties.
