Liquid Crystal Concentrate Base
|
Description: Our New Liquid Crystal Base from Stephenson provides a simple way of producing a variety of Personal Care Products. This base allows you to manufacture your own shampoos, body wash and shower gel, and bubble baths.
Directions:
Simply dilute the Liquid Crystal Concentrate with water, add fragrance, color and preservative of your choice and thicken your product by adding common salt. Liquid Crystal Concentrate is highly active as a 5:1 concentrate with typical use levels of around 20 to 30 %. It has excellent clarity,neutral PH, low odor and a neutral color. Although highly active, it has a low viscosity, making it readily pour able or pump able.
To add salt as a solution, dissolve 1 part salt to 2 parts hot water. Parts are determined by weight, (example: 1oz/28 gm salt to 2oz/56gm water. Add this mixture a little at a time to increase viscosity. Trials will be needed to establish the correct amount to add. Normal usage levels are 5-6% of the total formulation weight.
DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH SALT OR THIS PRODUCT WILL GO CLOUDY!
Liquid Crystal Concentrate is not designed to be used undiluted. It should be diluted as per our guidelines; otherwise in its undiluted form it may cause skin irritation.

This is very nice, although it took me a couple of tries to get the salt right, so I recommend small batches until you're confident. There is a soap odor, but after you mix with fragrance and let it sit a few days, the fragrance permeates the whole batch. DO use solubizer (sold here) a.k.a. polysorbate 20 to mix half and half with your fragrance. Otherwise, you might have gelling or thinning, at least that was my experience. I found it hard to find directions that made perfect sense to me, perhaps because it's such a flexible base.
