Thank you EVchem for your response and neutralization guidelines.
I will go ahead and cut down on Aloe vera juice.Order of addition: Dissolve Actives in alcohol in one beaker. To another beaker hydrating carbopol in water, aloe juice and glycerin mixture. Once its completely hydrated added IPM and mixed well. In the end added alcoholic phase to the carbomer phase. Mix it at slow speed. (The alcohol phase does not very well blend with carbomer phase). After this step, I started neutralizing the carbomer.
Separation description: There is carbomer gel with alcoholic phase (Orange colored with capsaicin) adhering to container walls, separated from the matrix (Translucent whitish gel) . No precipitation is observed.
Please me know if I am missing a breakthrough step/ingredient here. Any guidance would help

Suitable for neutralizer 0.5% carbopol 980 in water. I wanted to understand why one is preferred over the other.

Distillate is stable at 70-80C

Both distillate and Isolate should be fairly soluble in MCT oil/Sweet Almond Oil. You can add them to your oil phase. Usually the distillates and isolates are stable at high temperatures of upto 190F.

Thank you Belassi and Doreen for your valuable feedback.
I have observed Crash cooling helps to reduce the grainy texture. The thing is I can crash cool it before it makes it to the customers. Have received lot of feedback from them that eventually over time the product develops this grainy texture. I assume its due to slow cooling or often product lying outside int he car for long.
Do you recommend any addition of surfactant?
