Usage of Light Cream Maker and Lecithin Texture
Question
I have two questions regarding cosmetic formulation ingredients:
- Can I add Light Cream Maker to the oil phase and heat it together with waxes and oils? Or does it need to be added later? If it cannot be heated, when should I add it?
- Does Lecithin feel sticky or greasy like oil? The product description mentions it doesn't help with viscosity but doesn't specify about oiliness or stickiness.
Answer
Hello,
Here are the answers to your questions based on the information provided:
Regarding Light Cream Maker: Yes, you can add Light Cream Maker to the oil phase and heat it together with waxes and oils. It can withstand temperatures up to 80°C. After heating to dissolve it with waxes, you can proceed with the rest of your steps as usual. Light Cream Maker will help emulsify the waxes and oils with water.
Regarding Lecithin: Lecithin does not cause a sticky or greasy feeling like oil at normal usage levels. At high concentrations, it might feel a bit heavy on the skin, but it does not have the characteristics of oil. However, using any ingredient in excessive amounts can make the skin feel unusually heavy.
Thank you.
