Eugenol: Extraction Solvent and Thickener Recommendations
คำถาม
Regarding Eugenol lot 291TR1, I would like to inquire about the following details:
1. What solvent was used for extraction, such as PG or water?
2. If I want to increase the viscosity of Eugenol, do you have any thickener recommendations? I have tried using Carbopol, but it did not work.

Eugenol Solvent and Thickener Recommendations
Regarding your questions about Eugenol (FEMA-2467):
Extraction Solvent: Information about the specific solvent used for extracting this Eugenol product is not available from our database.
Thickener Recommendation: You mentioned trying Carbopol without success. This is likely because Carbopol is a water-based thickener, while Eugenol is an oil-soluble ingredient. To thicken a formulation containing Eugenol, you need a thickener designed for oil or non-polar phases.
Suitable oil-phase thickeners include:
- Oil Thick™ range: Such as Oil Thick™ Soft, Oil Thick™ Hard, Oil Thick™ Transparent, or Oil Thick™ Thixotropic. These are effective for creating gel textures in various oils.
- Trihydroxystearin: Another option that works well as an oil thickener.
These oil thickeners typically require heating to dissolve and properly incorporate into the oil phase of your formulation.
