Answer

Setting Cream Made with Soft Cream Maker

Regarding the 48-hour setting period for cream made with Soft Cream Maker, you should leave it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat. Refrigeration is generally not necessary or recommended during this time, as the cream needs this period to fully develop its texture.

Here are some suggestions for making cream using Soft Cream Maker:

  • Heating: Soft Cream Maker needs to be heated with the oil phase to around 60-70°C until it is fully dissolved.
  • Mixing: Add the heated water phase to the heated oil phase and stir continuously while the mixture cools down.
  • Setting Time: The cream will start as a liquid after mixing but will gradually thicken over about 48 hours to reach its final consistency.
  • Usage Rate: The recommended usage rate is 5%, but you can use between 3-10% depending on the desired thickness and the amount of oil in your formula (it can support up to 25% oil).
  • Adjusting Viscosity: If you need a thicker texture or are using more than 25% oil, you can combine Soft Cream Maker with other thickeners or emulsifiers like Glyceryl Stearate SE, Cetyl Alcohol, or Milk Lotion Maker.
  • Benefits: Soft Cream Maker creates a very soft, creamy texture with a nice sheen and is stable across a wide pH range (3-12).
