Information about Butter Cream Maker

Here is information regarding your questions about Butter Cream Maker:

1. Can it be adjusted directly in the formula?
   Yes, Butter Cream Maker is an ingredient that is added directly into your formulation. You can adjust the usage rate (typically 2-6%) depending on the desired thickness and stability of your cream or butter.

2. Is it an emulsifier for water and oil, and does it replace the need for Tween 80?
   Yes, Butter Cream Maker is an emulsifier specifically designed to combine oil and water phases to create stable creams and butters. When using Butter Cream Maker to create a cream or butter texture, it acts as the primary emulsifier and generally replaces the need for other emulsifiers like Tween 80, which serves a similar function but might yield a different texture or be used for different types of formulations (like solubilizing small amounts of oil in water).

3. How to adjust the formula to get a thick, easily absorbed butter texture?
   To achieve a thick, buttery texture, the product description suggests using Butter Cream Maker at a higher concentration (around 5-6%). It is also recommended to use it in combination with Cetyl Alcohol (Vegetable), often at around 10%, to help build the solid, buttery texture. Ingredients like Beeswax can also be added for increased thickness. For an easily absorbed texture, ensure the oil phase includes light, fast-absorbing oils or esters such as Fractionated Coconut Oil or LipidSoft Lite.

Butter Cream Maker is particularly useful for formulas with high acidity, alkalinity, or high electrolyte content, which can be challenging for other emulsifiers.
