  • Substitution for Polyethylene (W/O Balm)

    Posted by ngarayeva001 on December 7, 2018 at 3:43 pm

    Hello All!

    I am trying to create a soft cleansing balm. The benchmark product I am looking at was thickened with polyethylene. Can you please advice another thickener I can use instead of it as I can’t find polyethylene. I made important ingredients bold.

    Mineral Oil, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG -10 Isostearate, Polyethylene, Butylene Glycol, Water, Rubus Suavissimus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract, Viscum Album, (Mistletoe) Leaf Extract, Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis Root Extract, Carica Papaya, (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Malpighia Glabra (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Epilobium, Angustifolium Leaf Extract, BHT, Butylparaben, CI 16255, CI 15985, Fragrance

    Cetyl and Cetearyl alcohol are not giving the right texture.


    Thank you in advance.
