Emulsified Body Scrub with a Gummy Texture
Hello everyone on this lovely forum,
I would like to copy a store-bought emulsified sugar scrub with the following ingredients:
Sucrose- sugar
Glycerin- humectant
Propylene Glycol-weak moisturiser
Polysorbate 20-emulsifier (technically a solubilizer). Used as a liquid emulsifier for perfumes and essential oils.
Water (Aqua)-solvent
Fragrance
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer- a gelling agent that thickens, emulsifies, and stabilizes products and solutions.
Squalane-moisturizer
Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Sheel Powder
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut)
Gardenia Tahitensis Flower
Polysorbate 60-an oil-in water emulsifier/solubiliser
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Shell Powder
Titanium Dioxide-colourant
I have two questions about this body scrub:
- In particular I am interested in re-creating the almost gummy/gooey texture of this body scrub but first want to know which ingredient/s is this down to? I am guessing the copolymer gelling agent. Just a guess as it seems the only viable answer.
- Why are both polysorbate 60 and polysorbate 20 used?
Many thanks.

Hello
HydroxyethylAcrylate/SodiumAcryloyldimethylTaurate Copolymer(and) squalane (and) polysorbate 60 = simulgen NS -
Hi all,
I am re-visiting this body scrub again after doing some more research. I am unable to obtain simulgen NS in the UK. Can anyone suggest any other suitable polymers for this purpose? The body scrub in questions has a gummy/gooey texture that I am looking to replicate.

it’s called Simulgel NS, and it’s sold by Seppic; I work for a UK-based firm, and we’ve never had any problems getting it from them

Thank you very much Bill_Toge.

For the sake of knowledge and as a second option could I use any polymer to give me this gummy texture I am after?
