    Good Morning Dears
    I am trying to develop a Ethyl Alcohol based formula used as a man aftershaving cologne .
    i used ethyl alcohol about 75 % percent
    Fragrances 3%
    Glycerin 0.5 %
    i want to increase the viscosity to for like a light Gel ” to be applied from pump press not spray .
    adding carbopol 940 make the cologne extremely sticky event with 80% alcohol ! not good feeling at all .
    Wondering how only Dittol has a truly non sticky hand gel in the market !!
    what is the secret ?!

    Add synthalen w 400 is suspending agent and not so stick like carbomers but you also make aloveragel suspion with alcohols they are non sticky also add propylene glycol litte and glycerin at 0.1 percent will not results in stickness
    Aloveragel gel starts from 10 percent to 30 percent for thickening. 
    I make my own hand sanitizer. Like this .

    UCON Fluid 75-H-450 in the IL is somewhat responsible to reduce the stickiness.
