emulsifiers and stabilizers
I am making a gel mask. I notice in the Making Cosmetics Recipe book he uses sodium gluconate at .2% in their formulas as a stabilizer. Can I use Dermafeel PA as a stabilizer? . Can I skip it? Also, MC has an emulsifier called ICE SILICONE ( cetyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, poly 80, glyceryl stearate, dimethicone, divinyldimethicone/silsequioxane crosspolymer). I don’t want to buy more stuff. Any suggestions for other emulsfiers? This is for an overnight mask. No PVA in it. Pretty much he is using botanicals.

I wouldn’t say their formulas are great. As well as large suppliers’ ones. Can you post which formula is that and what cold process emulsifiers you have already?

I agree with you….their formulas are not that great.
