3 Creams with Montanov 202
Find out how to create 3 different emulsion textures with one natural emulsifier: Montanov 202
EMULSION 1: ALOE VERA LOTION
| PHASE | INGREDIENT | PERCENT (%) |
WEIGHT (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase A | Caprylic Triglyceride | 10.00 | 5.00 |
| Jojoba Oil | 10.00 | 5.00 | |
| Montanov 202 | 4.00 | 2.00 | |
| Behenyl Alcohol | 1.00 | 0.50 | |
| Xanthan | 0.30 | ||
| Phase B | Water | 61.70 | 30.85 |
| Phase C | Glycerin | 5.00 | 2.50 |
| Hydrosol | 5.00 | 2.50 | |
| Aloe Vera | 0.50 | 0.25 | |
| Biogard 221 | 0.50 | 0.25 | Potassium Sorbate | 0.80 | 0.40 | Phase D | Sodium Lactate | 0.95 | 0.48 |
| Vitamin E | 0.25 | 0.13 | |
Method
1- Measure Phase A and place on the heat.
2- Measure Phase B and also place it on the heat. Take a measure of the full weight of this beaker so any evaporated water can be added back later.
3- Wait until both phases have reached at least 80 °C / 176.0 °F before pouring the oil phase into the water phase. Before doing so you might need to add back any water that evaporated during heating of Phase B.
4- Blend at high shear for 1-2 minutes then wait for the emulsion to cool down a bit while stirring in between.
5- In the meantime you can measure Phase C in a separate beaker.
6- When the emulsion has reached 40 °C / 104.0 °F add in Phase C and stir until well incorporated.
7- Check the pH to make sure it is between 4-5.5.
EMULSION 2: HYDRATING SERUM

4- Blend at high shear for 1-2 minutes then measure Phase C in a separate beaker and add it in the main Phase.
5- Let the main phase cool down and measure Phase D in a separate beaker in the meantime.
6- When the emulsion has reached 40 °C / 104.0 °F add in Phase D and stir until well incorporated.
7- Add in Phase E ingredients and do a final check of the pH to make sure it is between 4-5.5.
