Wonderful surprise!
Accidentally, I add 0.5% xanthan gum to the thin lotion formula. It came out great surprise!
i feel good when applying the lotion on my face because of its cooling. But, it has little white grease. How do I reduce the white grease? But still keep the cooling.
Thank you so much for all comments. -

Many views but only one comment!

@dtdang I think the lack of replies is due to the way you describe what happens. Try searching for Soaping on the Forum, it sounds like that effect.

add the gum to glycerine and predisperse or you get fisheyes probably.

Belassi! Thanks a lot
you are right. I got hard time to mix the water phase because of gum. But it give the cooling feel when applying to face. I mixed gum to glycerin I do not get the cooling feel when applying it to face. I cannot explain it -
You can mix directly with water but you need to use high speed propeller mixing until it is completely hydrated.

Hi Belassi!
i have overhead mixer. But, I do not explain the cooling. The gum kept floating until heated to 160f, then I put it high speed mixing for 2 minute. How is the cooling from? -
No idea.
-
Most likely the cooling effect is due to quick evaporation.
