Body wash suspension
Good morning everyone!
I’m developing a body wash with ground coffee as an exfoliant and need to suspend it. I’ve achieved suspension with 5% Rheocare TTA or Carbopol AQUA SF2, but this represents a cost per ton of $580, which is out of budget. I’ve tried using Vivastar CS 2081 0.3% (Xanthan gum, Ceratonia siliqua gum, Glucose) to suspend it, but I can’t achieve a completely smooth, lump-free consistency. Please recommend a suspending material that isn’t as expensive as the polyacrylates I mentioned. Thank you very much. The suspension effect I need is like the one in the image.

Hi. Why don’t you use a very cheap carbomer (like Carbopol 980 or equivalent)? Those polyacrylates are highly crosslinked which results in very good suspension.

Hello! I’ve tried carbopol 980, but as soon as I add SLES, the mixture becomes opaque, even when I neutralize it to 7 with TEA. What’s the method to keep it clear? Please help.
