Glycerin Gel Formulation for Tripollar

To create a clear, viscous, and slippery glycerin gel suitable for use with a Tripollar machine, you can use Pro Polymer with Glycerin.

Based on testing, Pro Polymer can effectively create a clear gel texture when mixed with Glycerin alone, without needing water or a neutralizer like Triethanolamine. The information on the website regarding dissolution in water will be updated.

Regarding preservation, if the formula contains a high concentration of Glycerin, a separate preservative is generally not required, as high levels of Glycerin have antimicrobial properties.

If you wish to add soothing or anti-irritant ingredients, you can incorporate liquid water-soluble extracts. Based on available products, the following liquid extracts are suitable for reducing irritation and can be added to your glycerin gel:

• Portulaca Extract (Purified Colorless Liquid) or Portulaca Extract (Red/Yellow Liquid): Use at a rate of 0.1-0.5%.
• Cucumber Extract (France): Use at a rate of 3-5%.

These liquid extracts can be mixed into the Pro Polymer and Glycerin base. Avoid using powder-form water-soluble ingredients as they may be difficult to dissolve in this water-free system.
