    I made a gel using 1% Konjac Root Powder using room temperature distilled water. I noticed that the gel is unstable as it liquefy in 48 hours at room temperature. I must try adding xanthan gum and heating it to 90C. The only problem is when I apply this gel on the skin, it rolls/rubs off the skin. How do I fixed this? Should I use less and use other thickeners? I want to make a thick gel that includes Konjac Root Powder.
