Soap Making Products: Bulk Unscented Shower Gel Base
A quality shower gel with a full body foam and soothing after shower feel. Our extra thick gel is formulated so that color and essential/fragrance oils can be added without losing viscosity. Unlike many other shower gels, this product remains thick even when fragrance and colorant is added**. This product includes a generous amount of glycerine and Aloe Vera, which eliminates the use of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and DEA's. We are confident you will find the thickness and lathery suds to be of the highest quality.
To scent: Gel and clear bath products will cloud and thin out if more than 1% fragrance is used. If more fragrance is required, premix fragrance with one part Solubilizer to one part fragrance before adding to gels or bubble bath. It will help to keep your product clear. The biggest problem is that fragrance or essential oils affect viscosity, the liquid is unknown and could be butylene, propylene glycol, glycerine, oils or combined solvents. Each will react differently and might have to add salt if the product breaks or is too watery.
Steps: Place a sanitized container on a scale and O% the measuring indicator. Pour pre-determined amount of base into the container. Combine 1% scent plus 1% solubilizer (optional). Without a scale, calculate a teaspoon being 1/6 oz.or 5 ml. This 1 teaspoon (1/6 oz/5ml.) will fragrance 20 oz/600 ml of product, plus you will need another teaspoon of solubilizer which you will blend together before adding to the product. Add to the gel and stir gently to reduce bubbles and cloudiness. As you stir, feel if the tention starts to reduce. If so, you will have to add salt. On 20 oz/600ml, start with 1/4 teaspoon of table salt and stir. You can add up to 1/2 a teaspoon if needed. If too much is added, the viscosity will drop suddenly. Add distilled water to reduce the salt content if this occurs.
Our DWP Liquid Colorants work well with this product, though any of our cosmetic colorants can be used. Always allow fragranced shower gel to sit overnight. Initially the product can look cloudy or milky due to microscopic air bubbles. Let it sit overnight and it will become clear by morning. An informational instruction sheet is sent with this product.
