Question

What ingredient can be used to make bar soap stretchy, and can this ingredient withstand the high pH levels typically found in soap formulations?

Answer

Ingredient for Stretchy Soap

The ingredient used to make bar soap stretchy is called Snail Resin.

This ingredient helps create a "snail-like" texture and adds smoothness to the formula. It is suitable for various products, including bar soaps.

There are typically two types available:

  • Snail Resin (PEG-90M): Provides medium stretch.
  • Snail Resin (PEG-160M Ultra Stretch): Provides very high stretch.

Both types can withstand high pH levels, up to 10, making them suitable for use in soap formulations.
