Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

How do I work with 30% benzyl benzoate in cold cream or is there a better base available?

The cream should be spread over the whole body.

Answer

Cold Cream (the real) is distinctly different from many other bases. Whether 30% Benzyl benzoate can be injected into cold cream should be tried. Now there is cold cream and cold cream; There is even a commercial cold cream that no longer meets the definition of cold cream!

also, I have to say to you that a lotion with benzyl benzoate is described in the TMF. Double or take 3X the amount of emulsifying cetomacrogolis and I think you are obtaining a creme. Note the paraffin type!!!
