Formulating skin cream
I am trying to make a cream using olivem 1000 where usage rate is given 3 to 8 % when we use up to 30 % of oils . I usually use it 6% with 3% cetyl alcohol when oil percentage is up to 30% . I want to use up to 50 % of oils what adjustments I need to make .
Thanks -

I think you are going past the recommended oil rate for that emulsifier. From the spec sheet:
“Olivem 1000 has been tested in a percentage range from 2 to 8 % with a lipid
phase from 5% to 25% at different polarity value.”
and
“From 4 to 5 % OLIVEM 1000 is able to emulsify a lipid phase from 5 to 25%,
obtaining from light emulsions to consistent creams.”Olivem 900 is W/O and looks like it might be a better fit for the application.

Can you point me towards a link which can give me idea on the usage of olivem 900
