Recommendations for Gel-Making Ingredients

Regarding your questions about suitable gel-making ingredients for different applications, here are the recommendations:

1. Thick Cream Texture for Jar, Oil-Free, Fast Absorption

For a thick gel texture that absorbs quickly and is oil-free, you can use Water Gel Maker ingredients.

• Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker): A good option for beginners. It can create a thick, pudding-like gel texture when used at high concentrations (>3%). It dissolves well in water and provides a non-sticky feel when completely dry.
• Reshape Gel™ (Gel Maker, Memory-Gel): Suitable for those with more experience. It provides a high-viscosity gel in the packaging but spreads easily and absorbs well on the skin, without feeling sticky.

Both of these can be used to create a thick gel texture without oil and have good absorption properties.

2. Cloudy Face Mask Lotion, Oil-Free, Suitable for Massage Machine

As the staff mentioned, creating a cloudy lotion texture generally requires the inclusion of oil, even in a small amount (e.g., 2-3%), to form an emulsion that gives the cloudy appearance.

If you want a gel texture that works well with a facial massage machine, doesn't absorb too quickly, and is completely oil-free, you might not achieve a cloudy texture. Instead, you will get a clear or semi-clear gel that provides good slip and stays on the skin well enough for massage.

• Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker): Can be used as a base to create a gel texture. It allows for adjustable viscosity, suitable as a base for a mask requiring stability.
• Reshape Gel™ (Gel Maker, Memory-Gel): Provides a gel texture that spreads easily, is not sticky, and absorbs well. It might absorb faster than desired for prolonged facial massage but feels comfortable on the skin.

If you specifically need a cloudy texture, you may need to consider adding a small amount of oil as suggested by the staff.
