Why formulators like it

  • Reliable thickener & stabilizer
  • Suspension aid for actives/exfoliants

Formulation Guide

  1. Pre-disperse in glycerin, then add under shear
  2. Hydrate fully; viscosity builds over time
  3. Electrolytes affect viscosity

Applications

  • Gels
  • Shampoos
  • Lotions

Troubleshooting

  • Clumping or poor dispersion? Pre-disperse in glycerin or mix under higher shear.
  • Stability concerns? Use chelators/antioxidants and respect pH/temperature limits.
  • Texture too thick/thin? Adjust gums, electrolytes, or solvent ratios.

Storage & Safety

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. For external use only. Patch test finished products before regular use.
