How can PowderCream be incorporated into an oil-containing cream formula without it absorbing the oil phase?
Answer
Subject: Regarding PowderCream in oil-containing cream formulas
You are right to be concerned that PowderCream might absorb oil. However, this can be avoided by incorporating it correctly into your formula.
According to the advice provided:
- When using oil-absorbing powders like PowderCream or silica, mix them into the water phase of your formula, not the oil phase.
- Proceed with emulsifying the water and oil phases as usual.
- Once the formula is emulsified, the powder, being dispersed in the water phase, will not absorb the oil which is suspended within the oil phase.
This method ensures that the oil-absorbing properties of the powder do not negatively impact the oil content or stability of your final cream formula.
