Special Instructions
Be careful when adding acids. Already a small amount of acids such as AHA fruit acids can make the cream unstable and may separate. Please test pH and adjust acidity with TEA (triethanolamine) and test pH again. A good pH is in the range between 4.5 and 6.5. Being a natural cream base, slight separation during long standing, or warm temperatures can occur, can be reversed by blending.
