  • Shimmering oil without sinking glitter particles

    Posted by Eugene on April 14, 2021 at 9:39 am

    Hello all!
    I’m struggling to make shimmering oil with floating glitter. At the same time it should be less toxic and mostly with natural components.
    So the product I have now has this components:
    Sweet almond oil
    Caprylic Capric Triglycerides

    Stearic acid
    Vitamin E
    Biodegradable glitter

    I’ve added more viscosity to oil with stearic acid, but I want it to stay liquid.
    If I do not shake the bottle over time, glitter sinks leaving the products not attractive to customer.
    Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Try using Oleocraft MP-32 (INCI:Polyamide-3) from croda, or Oilkemia 5S (INCI:Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Polyurethane-79 from Lubrizol, latter one is expensive

    It is likely you will need to look at products that aren’t “less toxic and mostly with natural components”, terms that really aren’t very useful in R&D.

    Ok, if forgetting about natural and toxic aspect, what can I make to solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    Thank you! Does Oleocraft MP-32 just add viscosity?
