  Plant derived Bath gel thickners

  Posted by asafvarlix on January 31, 2019 at 9:35 pm

  Dear all, i am looking into creating a bath gel derived mainly from plants, (not 100% but mostly) - this is a tricky nieche, but its good for the story…
  If possible i would be glad for your assitance:

  1. Could you please advise me on a natural / plant derived thickener that won’t be too sticky - and if possible, won’t be extremely expensive?
  (The customer wishes to avoid using “Salts” in their simple term.  i though about Xanthan, but i fear the stickiness…

  2.  The Customer claims that 2.5% Glycerin is not enough in terms of humidity for him. could you advise me other ways to get that “silky” non dry feel? should i just “raise it” until he is pleased? sounds a bit dumb to me…

  3. in order to create a Thicker foaming, what ingredient shold i raise?

  Currently using a formula that contains 15.4% Active materials:

  20%  Sodium Coceth Sulfate (68% Active material)
  2% Cocaminde DEA  (100% active)
  6% CAPB (30% Active material)
  2.5% Glycerin, 0.1% EDTA, 0.5% perfume, q.s Water

  Xantham should work here and it won’t be sticky it will be a bit slimy if that’s ok with you. Get a clear variety (it can be crystal clear).
