    Try Rheocare XGN by BASF. 

    This is xanthan gum and dat does not give me a transparent gel hence looking for alternatives..solagum AX(acacia + xanthan gum) was another option i know of but dat again gives hazy gels

    you can search for raw materials that are ecocert approvec through their website http://ap.ecocert.com/glorganic/ecocert.php?l=en

    my first thought would be some grade of xanthan gum
    But will xanthan gum give me a clear transparent gel….Iam afraid not…do u have any other alternatives??

    Yes the container material is same and should not have any impact as other batches taken give desired results.

    January 1, 2016 at 8:15 am in reply to: a powder to cream formulation needs improvement…

    Thanks Mr Mark for ur suggestion ,but i had tried my initial prototype based on evoniks suggested formulation(the link of which u have provided).Still the dryness persists.Can you suggest whether silica R 812 S or R 202 which would give me a stable dry water ?(I have tried with R 202)

    Also upto what level of silica (hydrophobic ) would be enough for a stable formulation?(as dryness seems mainly due to hydrophobic silica)

    hydrovance(hydroxyethyl urea) is in a liquid form…a solid coolant is needed….also cooling efficacy is not as good as urea!!

    if parameters like ph viscosity,and appearance and perfume are measured at intervals like 1 month,2 month,3 month ad so on across temperatures like 8-10 (as control),25 °c and 40/45°c then in a tabulated form along with images of the product at those intervals will be a good way to keep rexcord of stability study of products.
