Hello everyone. Last week I made a nice liquid soap:
70% OO
10% CO
20% castor oil
It turned out to be a very nice soap and I thickened it with salt.
Then I wanted to add some sweet almond oil, some D-panthenol and glycerin to this beautiful soap to make it more moisturizing and use it as a shower gel.
But whenever I add glycerin or D-panthenol, the consistency of the soap deteriorates and becomes fluid like water. I can't fix it by adding salt.
I tried adding xantham gum and it didn't thicken. I tried combining xantham gum with glycerin and it still didn't work. I tried guar gum and it still didn't thicken.
I read that xhantam gum works very well in some friends' formulas like this. Why wasn't it in my formula?
Do you have any advice on how I can thicken my shower gel? But please I only want natural product. I don't want to use anything that contains harmful ingredients.
