Mixing Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and Aloe Vera Gel
Question
I want to mix Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate with Aloe Vera Gel base in a 1:1 ratio. Is this possible, and what will the resulting texture be like? If it is too liquid, how can I thicken it? I heard adding `Pro Polymer` might help.

Mixing Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and Aloe Vera Gel
Yes, you can mix Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and Aloe Vera Gel in a 1:1 ratio and use it.
However, as noted, the resulting mixture will be quite liquid. This is because the Aloe Vera Gel base already contains a gel-forming agent (Pro Polymer), but diluting it 1:1 with the liquid Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate will reduce the overall thickness.
To achieve a more gel-like consistency, you can add a small amount of Pro Polymer to the mixture. Adding around 0.2% Pro Polymer, as suggested, should help increase the viscosity and create a more desirable texture, depending on your preference.
When adding Pro Polymer, sprinkle the powder onto the liquid mixture and stir slowly until it dissolves and the gel forms. Avoid high-speed blending, which can damage the polymer structure.
This combination leverages the revitalizing properties of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and the moisturizing and soothing benefits of Aloe Vera Gel.
