Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hi all, and Happy Memorial Day. I am interested in " gelling " / thickening an already made castile soap so it has the consistancy of a shower gel, or at the least a thick liquid soap. Any ideas for a gelling/thickening agent? I have silica gel (from To Die For) but as someone else mentioned...I found I don't really like the feel of it. (I used it in a sugar scrub, althought I may have used a bit too much...)? At any rate, thanks for the help! Tracey =^..^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Tracey, I would look at the cellulosic thickeners like CMC. This is an anionic hydrocolloid that should be compatible with your soap. It is available in a variety of viscosities and rheological consistencies. Young KY Labs Innovators of Fine Personal Care Products www.kylabs.com Castile liquid Hi all, and Happy Memorial Day.
