Excellent video Belinda! I recently had a sucragel fail so this is perfect timing, I will try to save it, but now know what to do so it doesn’t fail next time. Thank you!

[@empressaura7736]

Where did you purchase yours if you don't mind me asking

[@DaytonaBleach]

@@empressaura7736 I am in Canada and it is available from shops in Quebec only it’s called Gelisucre in French. Better price at Coop Coco- coopcoco.ca/gelisucre or it’s at Les Ames Fleurs also.

Hello, Can sucragel be used in lubricant forulations? Is it skin irritant in this way?

[@vanialuz7894]

Hi. Would this be the same process with sapogel Q? Thank you!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Yes it is - have fun with these materials, once you get the hang of it they are fantastic!

Can sucragel be used to make a nourishing nail and cuticle oil gel or would I have to use a different product?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It would be great - not greasy at all!

[@stephaniejasperseoosterlak8471]

hello, I would like to try out sucragel and buy it.
I live in the Netherlands and have googled a lot but I can't find sucragel anywhere, not even under the inci name, so where can I as a private individual buy this, preferably with a Dutch payment option such as iDeal
Greatings from Holland 💖

[@1morgie855]

Is there any way to thin/dilute the product out? I’ve followed the instructions using Sucraclear and coconut oil and got a beautiful, clear result but it’s very thick. I’d love to try to use it as a base for other products if that’s possible?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Not with sucragel, no. Part of its stability comes from the way it builds structure in the formula - to thin it would make it unstable.

[@simplycocolicious2244]

Butters will naturally thicken out any formula. I suggest using another oil or reducing the amount of coconut oil. Should you want coconut oil anyway, then go for fractionated coconut oil and that should make it less thin.

[@aseshawnte]

Do you mind sharing where did you buy your Sucragel?

[@MakeupbyTrish]

I have played with sucragel now an twice had it completely seperate after adding fragrance. Other times its fine. Just kind of bummed because of the loss of product but any other products out there that can work like sucragel?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Takes some practice, needs to be added very slowly and bit by bit. Ensure you are only adding the next part of it once the previous one is homogenous. Emulsion will start to turn like an off white colour and become thicker so you will also need to increase rpm of your mixer

[@shawn72251]

Can u infuse it with hydrosols in place of oil?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

[@sharonhamilton4328]

If I don't have a mixer such as this.. is it a problem?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

A propeller mixer works best but you could also use a stick blender - just be careful of air when using a stick blender and keep your additions small at the start, even though the blender won’t reach the base of the product.

[@claudinen7816]

I’ve been attempting to create an emulsion with water. 7g of Sucragel to 35g of oil. It’s starts out smoothe like yours but the end result is choppy or clumpy. Also when I add it to my water phase,46g of water, it’s sooooo runny, like milk. I’m trying to start with 100 g of product. What am I doing wrong?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You need more sucragel - please follow the format I use in my video to make sure it will work. It won’t work with that low input, please email [e-mail] Learn how to make correct ingredient selections with our Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Science: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinAdvancedCosmeticScience-478/ or Diploma of Personal Care Formulation: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/DiplomaofPersonalCareFormulation-479/

[@abenadennis2660]
