  • strong odor after using aquagel 45 as an emulsifier

    Posted by hawraa on June 22, 2022 at 12:57 pm

    hello, I was formulating an exfoliating cream using aquagel 45( Sodium Polyacrylate and C13-14 Isoparaffin and Laureth-7) as an emulsifier
    Before adding the lactic acid , I mixed water phase ( aqua, EDTA, NaOH, glycerin, xanthan gum ) with oil phase ( jojoba oil and 3 % aquagel 45) a strong odor similar to smell of hydrogen peroxide ( used in hair dyes ) appeared.
    is the smell normal ? or is there something wrong?
    your help would be so much appreciated
