PURE GEL WITH POLYAQUOL 2W
Last week we talked about a very interesting emulsifier Polyaquol 2W, which is versatile and thanks to it canyou can create different degrees of viscosity and density of your cosmetic product - from a light liquid to a creamy consistency.
Polyaquol 2W can be used in a variety of formulations, even in products that are more difficult to prepare.
That's why today we're going to take just a simple example, a basic formula that creates a pure water gel.
Phase A:
Water - up to 100%
Polyaquol 2W (INCI: Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate (and) Glyceryl Stearate (and) Stearyl Alcohol) - 5%
Phase B:
Preservative - % of use depending on choice of preservative
Procedure:
1. Prepare the aqueous phase and heat it to a temperature of 75 - 80 °C.
2. Mix the emulsifier in the mixture.
3. Homogenise for a few minutes.
4. Then cool the mixture, stirring occasionally.
5. When the temperature drops below 40°C, add the preservative.
This will produce a gel with a viscosity of 5 000 - 11 000 cps.
Such a gel can become the basis for various cosmetic preparations. With Polyaquol 2W you can create:
skin care products,
anti-wrinkle, anti-aging emulsions,
BB and CC creams,
sunscreens,
baby care products,
make-ups.

But it is also possible to use such a basic one, adding various essential oils, vitamins, or CO2 extracts to add nutritional value to the gel as well
