Adding glycerin to the gums and THEN adding to water removes the possibility of clumping btw

Thank you ! Yes, it's better to make a slurry first with glycerin or sorbitol but I didn't want to add an other parameter in that specific case. They actually influence the texture of the gels.

Great video! Just a suggestion but when adding gums to your water directly it can cause a lot of clumping. So to combat that you should hydrate the gums with Vegetable Glycerine first to form a syrupy mixture , then add it to the water to have even dispersion.

@UnivHairSoleil3 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, this is a great suggestion! I thought about it but glycerin can influence the texture of the gels so I decided to not add any.

Great video, thanks! I would appreciate a lot your opinion and help about this matter: I've made a Comfrey root alcohol liquid Extract (Symphytum officinale) for external use. However, it's use is not as comfortable as a Comfrey GEL (which is for sale in pharmacy). So I was thinking to use the comfrey alcohol extract as a liquid base, and add some thickening agent. What would you suggest to use for this purpose? Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Like Xanthum gum for my salves and cream to make them less oily. I also add arrowroot powder, just a small bit to ensure smoothening of the end product. Aloe vera is great for shower section as also for facials. thanks again for your beautiful video.

It’s different for each formulation, but you can expect spoilage around the same time. Rancidity normally occurs within 3 months but can be much sooner, especially without a preservative. Signs of spoilage include change in odor, color, appearance, even pH, and/or obvious mold.

How do you add preservatives to it?

@krenee984 3 жыл бұрын

Follow the directions of whatever preservative you buy. For example, I use phenonip preservative. The usage directions for phenonip state that it can be used at 0.25 - 1% of final volume. When the mixture is within the designated temperature range for phenonip, add the preservative and mix thoroughly. I usually use 1% when I use phenonip. So for 100 g final weight, I use 99 g of other ingredients and 1 g of phenonip. There are online calculators that can do this for you if math isn’t your thing.

I made a batch of xanthan gum hair gel and its lasted more than a month so far. Xanthan gum gel lasts very long at room temperature. Its when you add fresh stuff to it that you should be careful imo. I made a bit with aloe vera mixed in and I dunno if I imagined it but I detected a slightly funny smell. Not sure if it smelt like that from the start cos my sense of smell isn't good at all. I should have asked someone for a 2nd opinion.

I make my own hair gel with xanthan gum and glycerine.. Sometimes I add aloe vera. But I think a better idea is to add aloe and/ or hibiscus powder to boiled water and let it steep. Then use that to make the xanthan hair gel. That should give it longer shelf life.I made a big batchaand so far its still fine after more than a month at room temperature. I will never again buy hair gel. It works for several dayß after application. I just dampen my hair with a spritz of water. It reactivates the gel and I just fix up the flat sections of my hair. I also want to try using some herbal teas as a base for the xanthan gel.
