    Just curious….how electrolyte tolerant is this?  Could one make an Aloe gel (if they wanted)….?  I don’t…but thought it might be a good gauge.

    Can it be used with the likes of urea, sodium lactate and such?

    And last but not least….are there any repackers in the US selling small amounts of it?

    I just recently got a sample of this to play with from 3V sigma after seeing positive comments from @chemicalmatt . Pretty easy to work with. I’ve been using it for thickening/stabilizing a gel cream for a customer, although the formula has a low electrolyte content ( < 0.5%) so I cannot truly answer your question. I have been using a small amount of GSC as a co-emulsifier and cetyl alcohol as a builder and it has held up well so far. This recipe has a decent size oil load with some heavier players, so ive been dropping it in during cooldown, but i’m curious to see how it reacts when dropped in pre emulsion. Good luck! Would be happy to send you their spec sheets/sample recipes/etc I received from the rep
