  • I want my products to be white and creamy

    So formally if I want to make my hair conditioner, I usually add the oil phase into the water phase after heating ….. then I emulsify  and let it cool down. But then I noticed it’s usually not white and creamy,  and my instincts tells me it’s because of the natural/unrefined oils and butters. So I decided to try out a small by adding the oil phase to the water phase. This time I was amazed. It was white, creamy….appearance wise. Is it advisable to continue like this?

    @Perry owww sorry I meant I usually add the oil phase into the water phase but I decided to try melting the conditioning agent e.g. btms. With the water phase before adding my oils and I found it to be whiter and creamy than melting my btms and cetyl alcohol with oils and butter.
