Comparing Clear Clean and Sugar Thick for Shampoo and Liquid Soap: Oil Separation, Sedimentation, and Thickening
คำถาม
I am currently using `Sugar Thick` in my shampoo and liquid soap formulations, but I am experiencing oil separation in the shampoo and sedimentation of herbal powder in the liquid soap. If I switch to using `Clear Clean` (a thickener for shampoo and liquid soap), I would like to know:
1. Will it help prevent oil separation (in shampoo)?
2. Will it help prevent the herbal powder mixed in the liquid soap from settling?
3. Will it still thicken effectively like `Sugar Thick`?
คำตอบ
Hello,
Regarding your questions about using Sugar Thick and Clear Clean in shampoo and liquid soap:
Will Clear Clean help prevent oil separation in shampoo?
- Sugar Thick cannot emulsify oil and water; it only acts as a thickener.
- Clear Clean can help combine oil and water, but its effectiveness depends on the amount and type of oil in your formula. It may not be sufficient for high oil concentrations.
Will Clear Clean help prevent herbal powder sedimentation in liquid soap?
- Yes, Clear Clean can help suspend powders and prevent sedimentation. Its gel structure helps hold particles in the formula.
- Sugar Thick cannot suspend powders effectively.
Does Clear Clean thicken as well as Sugar Thick?
- Clear Clean does provide thickening, but the resulting texture might differ from Sugar Thick.
- Clear Clean can sometimes be more challenging to use and may not always result in a clear product, whereas Sugar Thick consistently provides a clear texture.
To better advise on oil separation, could you please provide the approximate percentage and type of oil used in your shampoo formula?
