Thickening and Making Gel/Serum Opaque like Cream
คำถาม
I have a formulation that is currently a liquid gel/serum and is too thin. It is very liquid, like a gel. I need to make it thicker.
Also, the color is too clear. I want it to be opaque/cloudy, similar to the creams commonly used. It currently looks like a serum.

How to Thicken and Make Your Formulation Opaque
To thicken your gel-like formulation and give it a cloudy or opaque appearance similar to a cream, you can add a suitable thickening agent.
For a water-based gel that you want to make milky white and opaque, CreamThick™ (Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate) is a good option. It is a viscosity increasing agent for water that is easy to use and provides a white opaque gel texture.
If your formulation is an emulsion (like a cream or lotion base), you can use emulsifying waxes or thickeners designed for emulsions to increase viscosity and create an opaque appearance. Options include Emulsifying Wax 1000 (e.q. Emulgade 1000 NI) or CreamMaker EG™ (e.q. Simulgel EG), which are used to create creamy textures and thicken oil-in-water emulsions.
Choose the thickener based on your formulation type (water-based gel or emulsion) and the desired texture and opacity.
