Pro TIPS when working with GMS 165

Unlike conventional emulsifiers, GMS 165 doesn’t usually yield a highly viscous emulsion. Therefore, to enhance the thickness of your emulsion, consider incorporating 3-5% of cetyl alcohol or cetearyl alcohol into your formulation. Additionally, the introduction of a gum (0.1 – 0.3% depending of the gum), such as xanthan gum, guar gum, HEC, or carbomer, can contribute to the desired thickness.
