    Hi folks,

    i’m looking for some natural alternatives to carbomer to
    thicken the continuous phase of an O/W emulsion avoiding sticky feeling on the skin. What option could I
    try?

    Have you tried Siligel (Lucas Meyer)?

    Solagum AX is a combination of Xanthan Gum and Acacia. It can be used in cases where Xanthan would be used alone. It has much better feel to it than Xanthan Gum alone.
