SUCRAGEL XL
hello, I want to make an oily gel with sucragel xl 25% , oil phase 70% , and 5% glycerin based extracts.
As per the instructions provided with sucragel xl, I need to add the oil phase to sucragel drop by drop through pipette while simultaneously using high speed mixer. At last, the preservative is added. Sucragel is effectively making an oil in water emulsion with high internal oil phase.
So at what step can I add the the glycerin based extracts? together with sucragel at the starting point or at last while adding preservative?
And does ph matter for oily gels?

Add & mix glycerin stuff to the Sucragel XL at the very start before adding any oil.

The glycerin extract has I guess some water component too…will it be fine to add to sucragel ? I asked on Reddit as well and there they said that water component will not gel the oil effectively and the finished product would become somewhat like a lotion…they recommended first gelling up the extract with gum and then later combine with sucragel-gelled oil.
The effective water content of the herbal extracts that I want to add is 3% …is it too much?
