Question
Can Light Lotion Maker be used to create a thick cream texture suitable for packaging in a jar? If not, what other emulsifiers or "Cream Makers" are recommended for this purpose, and what are their typical usage percentages?
Answer
Regarding using Light Lotion Maker for Cream Texture
Light Lotion Maker is primarily designed to create light textures like lotions or sprays, and can bind a high percentage of oil while keeping the formula light.
If you want to create a thicker cream texture suitable for packaging in a jar, other emulsifiers or "Cream Makers" are more suitable. Consider using:
- Light Cream Maker™: This can create a cream texture without heat. To get a thicker cream for a jar, you can use it at a higher percentage, typically 1.5% to 3%. The description mentions that using too much can make it too thick for a pump, indicating it can achieve a thick consistency.
- Easy Cream Maker™: This also works without heat and produces a slightly heavier texture than Light Cream Maker™. The recommended usage rate for cream is typically 1% to 2%, but can be used up to 5% to increase viscosity.
- Soft Cream Maker™: This emulsifier requires heat and creates a soft, creamy texture. It is typically used at 3% to 10% for cream formulations.
Choose the Cream Maker that best suits your desired texture, oil percentage, and whether you want to use a cold or hot process.
