NatraSap Q™ is a 100% natural, non-gmo, and palm free, vegan oil-gelling agent. Supplied as a liquid blend, perfect for making translucent, rich balms with the texture of lanolin or petroleum jelly. NatraSap Q™ is a cold process gellant for vegetable oils, and creates rich, stable and translucent gels with balm-like textures. NatraSap Q™ is ideal for lip, body and hair care.
The viscosity of formulations made with NatraSap Q™ will vary based on what oils are used, and can often be thinned out using glycerin. Water can also be added up to 4% to thin the product, but the appearance will be more opaque.
NatraSap Q™ is not compatible with most surfactants especially those which contain water and are mainly lipophobic, but Cromollient SCE can be used to create a formulation that is easier to wash off.
