Answer
Using Snail Resin with a Glycerin Base for Stretch
Yes, Snail Resin can be used to create a stretchy texture in a formulation, and it can be mixed with a glycerin base.
Snail Resin is designed to give formulas a snail-like stretch and smoothness. There are typically two types available: a medium stretch type and a very stretchy type.
Mixing Method with Glycerin:
Snail Resin is a white powder that dissolves in water with heat (around 80°C). However, it dissolves much more easily when warmed with glycols, such as Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol, at 70-80°C. Since glycerin is also a type of glycol, you can mix Snail Resin with your glycerin base by warming the mixture to 70-80°C to help the Snail Resin dissolve completely.
Usage Rate:
The recommended usage rate for Snail Resin is typically between 1% and 5% of the total formulation.
By incorporating Snail Resin into your warmed glycerin base and mixing thoroughly, you can achieve the desired stretchy texture.
