Emulsion looks like honeycomb
Hello, I made a batch of skin cream and it looked fine when it was made. However, I have left it sealed in a container for a week and now it looks really strange…
It has bubbles on the top and all the way through it. I guess you could say it looks like a mousse, it is very light (not the look I was going for), but the bubbles/round spaces, are quite large.
Any ideas guys? Maybe my technique? Thanks.

Post the entire formula. It’s impossible to say with your description only.

Hi there, thanks for replying. The formula is below. I am wondering though if it’s because I’m currently using a home food processor to mix it. Thanks, Gaby

Home food processor is a problem. It draws too much air into the formula.

Thanks Perry. I wondered if that was the problem.
Could anybody recommend an entry level mixer? Thanks.

Bosch stick blender with a small head works ok for small batches.

I am making 2kg batches. Would this blender be OK for that? Thanks.
