10% Cool down phase (Rosehip)
My lotion contains around 10% Rosehip oil,
I use Arlacel 165 as my emulsifier,In small batches I used to add it in the cool down phase along with panthenol.
Now my question is scaling up, planning to invest in a 150 kg vessel (with heating oil) with an inline homogeniser and an anchor stirrer.
Should I be worried if my cool down phase is more???
I can add in oils in the inital stages but want to retain as much goodness as possible.
Any suggestions?

The nice thing about percents is if it worked small-scale in theory it would work large-scale. Did you test stability on your smaller batches? The processing equipment will just have to mimic whatever worked for you before.

As a rule - and others may disagree - an oil load that high should be incorporated with the primary o/w emulsifier in a separate phase, Arlacel in your case. Rosehip oil is pretty stable at 65 - 70C, and you won’t be elevating its temp for days, just a few hours or so. I’d change processing sequence.

Thanks a lot @chemicalmatt
But Cool down time of 20 kg batch is very less and cool time of 150 kg will be overnight.
Will it increase oxidation of Rosehip oil?I have chiller options are available, but I havent invested in it?
