    I wonder what product can increase viscosity of oils? for example i am formulating hair oil packing will be in glass bottle with dispenser so I should increase the viscosity. what is the best ingredient to be added?

    also would be wise to add some ingredients to facilitate wash-off?

    What kind of oils? Should it stay transparent? Is it a leave-in product?

    They also have Hydramol™ PGPD ester which they say is supposed to make it easier to rinse off oil-based systems with water
