Temperature Control for Home Cosmetic Mixing

Subject: Temperature Control for Heating Ingredients

Hello,

Regarding controlling temperature when mixing ingredients that require heat at home, such as cream maker or gel maker, the staff recommends the following methods and equipment:

• Recommended Equipment: Use a small electric stove along with a thermometer (either a regular thermometer or an IR thermometer). This is the most economical option.
• Temperature Control Tips:
  • Use the thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  • Electric stoves retain heat. Once the desired temperature is reached, immediately remove the container from the stove to prevent the temperature from continuing to rise.
  • If the temperature drops too low before mixing is complete, you can briefly return the container to the stove.
• Alternative Method: Using a double boiler (water bath) can help reduce rapid temperature changes and make temperature control easier, although it is a more complex method.

Thank you.
