Question
How can I formulate a fast-drying Aloe Vera gel without using alcohol? What ingredients can help achieve a quick-drying effect and a gel-like texture?
Answer
To make a fast-drying Aloe Vera gel without alcohol, you can achieve this by adding fast-evaporating ingredients to your formula.
- Add Fast-Evaporating Ingredients: Use ingredients that evaporate quickly, such as Trisiloxane or Isododecane, to help the gel dry faster.
- Use an Emulsifier: Since Trisiloxane and Isododecane are not water-soluble, you will need a water-in-oil emulsifier (cream maker) to help combine these ingredients with water and the Aloe Vera extract.
- Choose an Emulsifier for Gel Texture: If you want the product to have a gel-like texture, consider using Pro Polymer or Satin Cream Maker as your emulsifier.
In summary, you will need Aloe Vera extract as the main ingredient, and add Trisiloxane or Isododecane along with using Pro Polymer or Satin Cream Maker as an emulsifier to help the gel dry quickly and have a gel texture.
