Bubbles appearing on surface of cream
Hi good day
I have made a hair cream for hair using the formula below. The problem is , I keep getting bubbles forming all over the surface of the cream within an hour of preparing the formula. Even after i mix it and the bubbles pop, it returns soon after. Within an hour I can see a few bubbles and then after a lot of bubbles. I tried preparing it under heat then adding the preservative. I even tried changing to a more heat stable preservative to include in the heat phase called phenoip. But the problem keeps happening. I use distilled water. Please help me diagnose and solve the problem.

I’ve had a similar issue in the past with hair conditioner and lotions. Ironically the ingredients were nearly identical. I’ve never found a solution and the problem appears randomly and not often. I am curious if anyone has any insight to this…considering our ingredients are so similar, I would bet it has something to do with one or more of these ingredients. TIA!

What batch size did you make? Because sometimes you might have introduced too much air into the batch with the batch not suitable for your homogenizing tool.
