@capsys like @Fekher said, the Steareth-20 and 2 are there to thicken the product. With this much, you’re looking at a very soft cream, probably even runny.

That would be my guess. What type of mixer are you using?

Hand mixing with a whisk. I slowed down the stirring quite a bit and that seemed to help in reducing the amount

My guess this is on small scale formulations, correct? No real way of avoiding it. Bottom filling with larger batches will alleviate most bubbles. Large batches will also have foam/bubbles which form on the surface during heating and agitation.

That makes sense. Thanks for your help!

You won’t be able to get a product with just those three ingredients. Look into adding soy lecithin, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, water, arrowroot powder, and an emulsifier. Good luck!
