Re: Amisoft surfactant thickening/reprise

[Guest guest]

I have only ever made cremes and lotions with oils, butters, stearic

acid and e-wax, and have just learned how to make liquid soap so I

intend to start making gels, bubble bath, etc. - I've just received

some samples from Ajinomoto and have them lined up, not really

knowing where to go from here. I have Amisoft CK-11(F), inci:

Potassium Cocoyl Glutamate, in flake form and Amisoft CS-11, inci:

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, in a powder. I'm guessing I'll find recipes

somewhere online for using either or both, but how do I turn them

into liquid form or is it even necessary to liquify them first? The

Amisoft CT-12S,inci: TEA Cocoyl Glutamate, is liquid. I also have a

couple of humectants - Prodew 200 which is made up of Sodium PCA,

Proline, Sodium Lactate, Sorbitol, Hydrolyzed Collagen and water and

Amidew, inci: Sodium PCA, which I don't think I have any questions

about but may come up with some later. I also got a sample of

Amisoap which is composed of Coconut acid, Arginine, Potassium

Hydroxide and water - so I guess it's regular soap but I'm wondering

if it stands alone as soap or used to enhance products using soap

such as bubbling bath salts, salt scrubs, etc.

I've gleaned so much valuable information from this list as a long

time lurker, for which I thank all of you. I unsuccessfully searched

the archives for answers before asking my questions and hope I

plugged in the right words to search for so I don't end up rehashing

info that's been given before. Amazing how a few bottles and bags of

new stuff can bring me to a standstill.

products. I've never worked with any of their surfactants because of

cost.

I not only tried the website (actually, they have several), I went

through a bunch of their links and didn't get any answers. Thanks,

Maurice, for contact info on a real, live person. Maybe I threw out

contact info with the packing materials - it seemed odd that they'd

send samples without giving the name of someone specific to get back

to. Many thanks.
