  cracking texture

  Posted by JellyFishKarma on March 29, 2025 at 2:35 pm

  I need to create a cracking texture for a facial gel. It should dry quickly and have a super cracking effect. A peel off texture is not what is needed. I have been experimenting with :

  water

  gellum gum 1%

  xanthan gum 2%

  HEC 0.5%

  pva 5%

  pvp k-90 3%

  ethanol- 15%

  any suggestions.

  I know this is a gel but fullers earth clay is a super cracking ingredient.
