  best natural oil rheology modifier?

  Posted by arastellar09 on April 17, 2025 at 4:03 pm

  I’ve read a lot about sucrose esters and their —

  1) gel-to-milk upon contact with water ability

  2) high internal phase emulsifying ability(80-90%) forming O/W gels

  question 1 :-

  what should be the ideal ratio among these ingredients to make a standard sucrose ester HIPE emulsifier? : Glycerin, Capric Triglyceride, Aqua, Sucrose laurate, Sucrose stearate

  ( 45%, 40%, 4%, 9%, 2%)—> ????? is this okay?

  (these percentages are just for the emulsifier and not the final oily gel product!)

  question 2 :-

  what if I don’t want to make oil gel and just want to thicken my hair serum a bit? is trihydroxystearin or dextrin palmitate going to work? how is their action mechanism different from sucrose esters?
