Xanthan gum won’t work as well as HEC (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) in this body wash formulation because it forms a thicker, more gloopy texture, which may not disperse evenly with surfactants like SLSA. HEC provides a clear gel with smoother viscosity, essential for combining surfactants and maintaining a desirable pourable consistency. Additionally, xanthan gum can destabilize foaming in surfactant-heavy formulations, whereas HEC stabilizes foam and improves clarity, which is crucial for the aesthetic and functional quality of the body wash.
You can use Polysorbate 80 in this recipe, but there may be a slight difference. Polysorbate 80 is thicker and may make the body wash slightly cloudier compared to Polysorbate 20, which is typically used for essential oils. If you don’t mind a bit of opacity, Polysorbate 80 will still help the essential oils blend well.
Love the colour
Thank you so much
Can i use a different thickner like xanthum gum..
