  • Flirting with electrolytes and polymerics…. How long do I have to wait???

    I am tempting fate, trying to use some mild electrolytes with a formula that is enhanced with Aristoflex AVC and carbomer.  I was unsure if they were maintaining viscosity in formulation, as the formula is always just a touch thinner than I would anticipate (a cream).

    So I made just a little water based test…with all the possible aggravations.  It gelled as expected…..but my question is…. how long do I have to observe this to see if a viscosity reduction will occur?  One hour?  24 hours?  One Month….6 months?

    Thank You.
