Solagum Tara causing ‘rolling’ effect
Hello,
I am working on a emulsion formulation, and I am using Seppic’s Solagum Tara as a thickener. Although I like Solagum Tara’s performance, I am noticing that it’s causing rolling on the skin. I am using it at 0.75%.
It is a ‘natural’ formulation (we are trying to follow the Cosmos-Standard/Natrue criteria), so there’s some limitations in the ingredients selection.
Does anyone has any suggestion of what I could try to decrease the rolling? Increasing the emollients concentration (%) would be an option?
Here’s an overview at the formula:
Water - Glycerin - 6% Solagum Tara - 0,75% Cetearyl Alcohol - 1.5% Cetyl Alcohol - 1.5% Sweet Almond Oil - 0.5% Shea Butter - 0.5% Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Acid - ~5 - 10% Potassium Cetyl Phosphate - ~0,5 - 1% Tinogard TT - 0,1% Preservative system - 1%. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

That’s a lot of gum in an emulsion. Cut the Solagum Tara down to 0.3% and increase you Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol to increase the viscosity.
