  VISCOSITY REDUCING AGENT

  Posted by pepe on March 1, 2019 at 2:39 pm

  Hello Y’All.

  Hope you are doing well.

  Nowadays I am working on a aerosol skin care product. It should be sprayable in every circumstances and I have found the proper valve and actuator set. The only problem is the emulsion itself!! After 1 and half month by increasing the viscosity of the emulsion, the spray pattern changes negatively.

  I need to keep steady the viscosity of the final product and should find some ingredients to decrease the viscosity.

  Formulation is like:

  D.Water
  Propylene glycol
  TEA
  Stearic Acid (18/43)
  Lanette SX (Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (and) Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate)
  Isopropyl Myristate
  Dimethicone 
  fragrance
  Phenoxyethanol&ethylhexylglycerin

  Thank you in advance…

  CETAC Cetrimonium chloride works as an emulsifier and it sharply drops viscosity.
  But you’d need to get rid of anionics like the SLES containing Lanette SX.
