  • GEL network for a “bodylotion” for my horse?

    Posted by tinas on November 28, 2019 at 1:34 pm

    For my hair conditioner, I use GEL network (Stearyl alc, Cetyl alc and SLS) and the gel is wonderful - no “whitening” effekt. Is it possible to create a similar kind of gel with something else than SLS, since I do not want to use SLS for skin care. I do not want any oil in the gel, and I do not want Zepimax (crosspolymer) since it is syntetic.

    And what’s wrong with synthetic?

    How did you manage to make anionic SLS compatible with cationic conditioners?

    You can make gel networks with SLES instead of SLS.

    Oh, looks like I want to create a hair conditioner - but I like to formulate a skin care “gel” without any SLS or SLES, but the same kind of “feeling” like the conditioner I made. Is that possible? I have tried natural polymers like xanthan, guar, agar and cellulose.
