@pma AND @lewhitak THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I don’t think it will increase viscosity but it did smooth my gel

[cherri]

@ChemWizard Sorry made a typo Pepha-Tight is the correct name

[cherri]

@Bill_Toge Thank you for your comment. Yes I have been using sodium benzoate but doesn’t seem like it’s working I use it for a gum gel and doesn’t seem like it’s working overall ( I don’t think I can formulate pH below 5…) Any suggestions? I heard ehtylhexylglcyerin is also effective but not sure…
I would like to use parabens but the overall formula is paraben free.. any suggestions?

Thanks again

Try using Pephtight from DSM or pullulan Pephatight has Algae Extract and Pullulan as INCI

@Perry Is there any chance to meet you and say hello?

[cherri]

@Bill_Toge thank you for your reply. Yes I did heat up enough and use sweep mixing for my cooling down process. I think it’s my powder that gets dispersed instead of solubilized well enough.

@milliachemist thank you so much. so should I make one with reduced quantity? micro wax 5 % and cetyl oh 3 % are both fixed I cannot changed the ingredient list at this time.

[cherri]

I used below oil phase ingredients:
CETYL ALCOHOL
MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX
MYRISTYL MYRISTATE
ARLACEL 165
PETROLATUM

I heated up my batch but still see crystal particles/granules…. should I try reducing my wax? oil phases?
