⚙️ Procedure (Final Universal Method — Cream System)
1. Prepare Equipment
Use a clean, heat-safe mixing vessel and sanitize all utensils
2. Combine Phase A
Add all Phase A ingredients
👉 NOTE:
Due to butter content, gently warm Phase A (≤65°C) until fully melted and uniform
3. Prepare Phase B (Water Phase)**
Heat Phase B to boiling (~100°C)
4. Form Emulsion
Slowly add Phase B into Phase A while mixing continuously
Ensure complete emulsification
5. Cool Down
Continue mixing while cooling
Cream will thicken as it cools
6. Add Phase C (<45°C)
Add fragrance
Mix thoroughly
7. Final Mix & Fill
Mix until uniform
Transfer to containers
Allow to fully cool and set
