INCI Nomenclature:
Sclerotium Gum
Suggested Use Levels:
0.8 to 2.0% for standard gels 0.2 to 0.8% to stabilize emulsions
Formulating Guidelines:
Formulation Guidelines: Add the usage rate of Sclerotium Gum into the water phase at a temperature of 20°C or more, the warmer the water, the more quickly the gum will gel. This could take normally 15-45 minutes with mixing. If you’re using a stick blend, bubbles will form. We always recommend let it sit 24 hours (Covered) so the gum can hydrate for a clear gel. We always recommend having a formulator or chemist review your formulation and always recommend developing a small batch, prior to a large batch.
Shelf Life:
12 months from the date of manufacture.
Storage:
Protected from direct light and humidity at a temperature of 50°-77°F (10°-25°C)
