Tips for Gel Formulation and Ingredient Alternatives

Reducing Air Bubbles with Pro Polymer

When using Pro Polymer to create a gel texture, excessive air bubbles can be a common issue. To minimize air incorporation:

• Slow and Gentle Mixing: Sprinkle the Pro Polymer powder slowly onto the surface of the water while stirring gently for 3-5 minutes. Avoid vigorous blending initially.
• Avoid Over-Blending: Do not blend at high speeds (above 2500 rpm) as this can damage the polymer structure and introduce more air.
• Allow Hydration Time: After the initial gentle mixing, let the mixture stand for up to 1 day to allow the Pro Polymer to fully absorb the water and hydrate. This reduces the need for high-speed blending later.
• Final Blending: After the hydration period, blend slowly and gently to achieve a smooth gel texture.

Alternatives for FastRelief

FastRelief is used to reduce the sensation of heat and irritation. If FastRelief is unavailable, an alternative ingredient to consider for reducing skin irritation and redness is Pep-Calm. Pep-Calm is effective in reducing redness and combating skin irritation. While it may not replicate the exact heat sensation reduction of FastRelief, it addresses the underlying irritation.

CoCool provides a cooling sensation, which might help with the feeling of heat, but its primary function is cooling rather than reducing irritation itself.
