Hi Belassi!

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

Carbomer is common used. Xanthan gum is used recently because it’s natural. That is what I found out.
After adding .5% xanthan gum to my running, thin cream. I got thicker cream. I feel wonderful when I apply cream on my face because of its cooling. Great! But it has white grease.How do I reduce the white grease.
thanks for your inputs.

Thanks so much for so interested information.
I added xanthan gum 0.5% to my lotion. The sticky and greasy increased so much. I do not like it. This is my first fun experience.
If I reduced it to 0.3%, what happens?

Have wonderful day.

Paraben used for preservative, the lotion is still legally called natural if all other ingredients are naturals?

I just read about sodium levulinate that is good preserve and also good for skin. It is similar to bees using it to protect its nest.

Thanks.
Is it correct that HLB of emulsifiers must be equal to HLB of oils phase?
This case is not
