Extreme helpfull Video. I got carbomer 341. I will give it a try. If the final product needs lower PH, can I use sodium lactate? (PH 5-6)

Thank you. You can try using Carbomer 341 in the same way as Carbomer 940. However, it's important to note that Carbomer 341 and Carbomer 940 might have slightly different hydration and neutralization properties, so you may need to adjust your process accordingly. Regarding pH adjustment, sodium lactate can be used, but it might not be the best choice if you need to significantly lower the pH. Sodium lactate typically has a pH around 5-6, which might not be sufficient to lower the pH of your final product if it needs to be more acidic. Instead, consider using other pH adjusters like citric acid or lactic acid, which can lower the pH more effectively. Always ensure to add the pH adjuster gradually and check the pH frequently to avoid over-adjusting.

That looks awesome! Is it sodium hydroxide flakes like you used to make cold processed soap?

Okay thank you. It was helpful. However I got a question, how many minutes does it take to fully hydrate?
@beautybooster_diy4848

Carbomer 940 typically takes about 24 hours to fully hydrate and achieve its maximum viscosity.

Can u use baking soda ?
@beautybooster_diy4848

In this carbomer gel formulation, baking soda isn't a suitable substitute for sodium hydroxide due to its inadequate pH adjustment strength. Carbomer gels rely on a robust base like sodium hydroxide for proper neutralization and thickening. Baking soda's weaker alkalinity lacks the potency needed for pH adjustment, resulting in insufficient viscosity and consistency in the gel. Therefore, baking soda fails to meet the requirements for effective gel formation in this context.

I demonstrated the option for hydrating Carbomer 940-980 with sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is a common neutralizing agent for Carbomers, but handling it demands caution. Consider specific formulation needs, pH sensitivity, and product compatibility when choosing a neutralizing agent.

What do you use to make light hold medium hold and strong hold hairgel? And what binder do you use when adding fragrance ?
@beautybooster_diy4848
3 ай бұрын
To create varying hold strengths in hair gel, adjust Carbomer 940 concentration and pH level. Light hold gels require lower Carbomer 940 concentration and pH for a softer texture. Medium hold gels entail slightly increased Carbomer 940 concentration with adjusted pH for moderate stiffness. Strong hold gels demand higher Carbomer 940 concentration and higher pH for significant stiffness and control. For fragrance incorporation, glycerin serves as a binder to evenly distribute fragrance oil throughout the gel. Additionally, include a solubilizer like polysorbate to emulsify oil-based fragrance with the water-based gel. Mix fragrance oil, glycerin, and polysorbate thoroughly into the gel mixture to ensure even dispersion. Begin with small amounts of fragrance and adjust to reach the desired scent strength and longevity. This comprehensive approach ensures both desired hold strength and fragrance distribution in the hair gel formulation.

@beautybooster_diy4848 Thank you. I appreciate that. Is there a basic recipe that I can go by for these ingredients? Say I wanted to make 20oz.... As an example.....

My recipe is in the video if you want to make this and ingredients can be brought online. My recipe calls for 200g of Carbomer 940. You can use this as an example to scale a 20oz recipe accordingly. Simply adjust the quantities of other ingredients proportionally based on your desired batch size.

Hi how can you add perfume scent to the gel
@beautybooster_diy4848
4 ай бұрын
Yes you can, fragrance or essential oils can be added to Carbomer 940 formulations. I suggest incorporating them during the hydration stage, gradually blending into the hydrated gel while ensuring thorough mixing. This method ensures even dispersion, maintaining the gel's texture and stability. However, it's advisable to conduct compatibility and stability tests beforehand to prevent any negative impacts on the gel's properties. The hydration stage, where Carbomer powder mixes with water to form the gel, presents the ideal opportunity to integrate fragrance or essential oils for consistent scent distribution.
