Ingredient Responsible for Jelly Soap Texture
Question
I asked about the ingredient that gives my jelly soap its bouncy, jelly-like texture. The staff suggested Gelatin, but it's not in my ingredient list. What ingredient in my formulation is responsible for this texture?
Answer
Based on the ingredient list you provided for the jelly soap, the ingredient most likely responsible for its bouncy, jelly-like texture is Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus).
Carrageenan is a natural gelling agent derived from red seaweed. It is widely used in both food and cosmetic products to create a gel consistency.
While the staff's reply mentioned Gelatin as a way to achieve a jelly texture, Gelatin is not listed in the ingredients you provided. Therefore, in this specific formulation, Carrageenan Extract is performing the gelling function.
I searched our database for Carrageenan Extract but could not find a specific product matching this ingredient.
