@ngarayeva001 if I increase Myristyl Myristate to 5-6% and add 0.5% of Gel maker, should I remove Cetearath-20/Cetearyl Alcohol and Xanthan gum?

I made it again without the gel emulsifier. All that weird viscosity is gone so it came a 100% from the gel emulsifier. However, now the product is too runny more like a lotion than a cream so I will be reintroducing the gel emulsifier at lower concentration.

@MarkBroussard I am planning to also try a version with Montanov lamellar emulsifier. What % of lamellar emulsifier would you recommend and should I use Montanov or you got a better recommendation for lamellar emulsifier?

Thanks all.

@MarkBroussard if I go with lamellar emulsifier such as Montanov, would I still need Xanthan gum?

@MarkBroussard

Thanks, I wanted a richer feel and picked oil with high oleic acid content for that purpose.

What is a good film-former ingredient you would recommend?

I am mostly worried about the texture visually. While the cream is not sticky and has great slip when applied, visually it looks like white glue due to some air bubbles in it, high gloss and high viscosity. I want a slightly softer, lower viscosity, creamier looking product. What do you think give is the high gloss/high viscosity glue like look and how can I correct it? I suspect the gel emulsifier is creating this issue but not sure.

Thanks,
