Hi everyone,

Good afternoon and have great day.

Currently i am working on Body Massage Gel which contains Natural Oil like Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Soybean Oil and i want to thicken this oil and convert into gel form.

If anybody knows about the natural oil thickener, It would be great.

My product is 100 % natural so i need only natural thickener

    @vjay---Yes----When the degree of substitution of ethyl is between 0.7 and 1.7, Ethyl Cellulose is soluble in water; while it is higher than 1 .5, it is soluble in organic solvents. The DS value of Ethyl Cellulose produced in the U.S. Is between 2.2-2.6. The product is soluble in the mixed solvent of hydrocarbon and a lower alcohol, ketones, and ethers with low molecular weight.http://celluloseether.com/ethyl-cellulose/

    ;) ;) Dermofeel Viscolid is a natural oil thickener that creates soft and creamy oil gel textures. The powder material solidifies oils by building a crystalline-like structure with no influence on the sensorial profile of the oil.

    I've copied it from Prospector.

    Dermofeel Viscolid does not give transparent gels.

    Ethocel STD 100 Premium or there are few from Ajinomoto, all these tho cost fortunes in the formulations.

    I was originally thinking of Dow Ethocel.You can get different grades to customize your product.Note directional formulae in the bulletin http://msdssearch.dow.com/PublishedLiteratureDOWCOM/dh_004f/0901b8038004fb7c.pdf?filepath=/192-00818.pdf&fromPage=GetDoc

    Ajinomoto also i tried but they have only synthetic thickener not natural

    Then Dr. Bob has suggested you the best solution, I have used it with our customers and the gel is really transparent. Try to use octyldodecanol as the main oil, strongly recommended.
