@zaidjeber,
I had written the www link in my last posting but somehow it appeared as a direct video visual. Anyways, u can search “Xanthan gum 2% powder wetting in water” in Google videos and you will get it. -
Hello friends,
In my search for finding an efficient Mixer for Xanthan gum and such other viscous solutions, I just came across one video which seems to be a very interesting option for this type of task and I thought I should share it with you people.
Please have a look at this video and leave your advices & comments. It has very simple but quite efficient blade design and the mixing intensity…..is awesome! 😮

Thank you Perry, em88 and Lahav for your kind suggestions!
-
Thank you! Your first suggested option was already in my mind and now I will try both of your options.
-
This seems to be a very good option but unfortunately I am not in USA, I can’t source such Sprayer in my country…. :'(
Still will try…..

Hello DrBOB,
You mean instead of normal pump spray if I opt for propellant based aerosol type delivery then this may help in drying fast on skin? However in this case I am wondering how I would take trials on a small scale in a lab with propellant gases and cans….!
What rheology modifier you would suggest here?
Can you give any sample formula/recipe idea relevant to this case?
-
Oh 😮 …. then I will try to proceed accordingly.

@johnb : Thanks for pointing this out as now even I am being suspicious about its stability in 100% aqueous solution according to some other references….
@Bobzchemist : Yes, you are right. Surfactants with high content would be problematic.
Probably, instead of using it in aqueous solution, I have to find another way..

@Ameen & @Belassi:
Yes, I tried this too but there were number of issues like suspension stability, emulsion stability (if made o/w type) due to alkalinity, stickiness, white powdery layer on skin & staining on shirt, etc to name a few….Not sure about long term safety of the sulphate salt or its effectiveness for this application.
-
You are absolutely right. Still, based on my recent efforts and results I’m trying if I could do something good here!
Your suggestions and advises are always welcomed!

Dear John,
Emollient and some silicones help reduce surface tension at some extent which ultimately helps in drying a bit fast, still not enough though as you pointed.
MgCl2 does give good result in suppressing bad odour however the performance fluctuates at different pH and I am still working on it to optimize.
Sorry but I did not understand your last sentence (my native language is not english!).

On normal unshaved skin it stings very little, sometimes negligible, but on recently shaved (even after a few hours of shaving) it stings quite high with burn type feeling.
Regarding alcohol : as I want this product to be ‘alcohol-free’, I can’t use it.
Trying to find an emollient/humectant or a water soluble silicone which could help me here…..
-
Yes you might be right but I tried with 12-15℅ and it seems to work good omitting bad odor for a day but still gives stinging at start. I don’t want to use alcohol as my this will add more burning feeling and I want to make the product alcohol-free as well.
