Sourcing Ingredients for Herbal Toothpaste Formulation (Xanthan Gum, Coco-Betaine)
Question
Following up on the discussion about herbal toothpaste formulation, where can I purchase the ingredients you mentioned, specifically the gel builder (like Xanthan Gum) and the mild surfactant/cleansing agent (like Coco-Betaine)?
Answer
Ingredients for Your Herbal Toothpaste
Based on your herbal toothpaste formula which includes ingredients like alum, clove, salt, camphor, borneol, and sodium bicarbonate, and your goal to create a cream-like texture, Xanthan Gum is indeed a suitable ingredient for creating that gel texture.
Adding a mild surfactant like Coco-Betaine, as discussed, can help improve the cleansing feel and create foam, even in a natural-focused formula.
You can find Xanthan Gum and Coco-Betaine available for purchase. We have several types of Xanthan Gum that can create a clear gel texture with different properties, such as smooth texture, normal texture (200 Mesh and 80 Mesh), and easy-to-spread types. Coco-Betaine is available as a mild surfactant derived from coconut.
These ingredients, along with your herbal components, can help you develop your unique toothpaste brand.
