Kerven Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 These are ingredients used in cosmetics, so I thought I'd ask here. So far, I haven't been able to find any of them sold retail. Any suggestions? Ethyl cellulose Trihydroxystearin Polyhydroxystearic acid Tribehenin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Oh wow, if you can't find it on Making Cosmetics, Lotion Crafter, or the Chemistry Store, I'm at a loss.... Hopefully some one (ahem @TallTayl) has some other sources that I don't know about. Sometimes you can request samples from the big companies like Croda if you have proof that you are a business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerven Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I forgot to add Croda to the list. They have a polyamide somethingorother (might be OleoCraft) that sounds like it might work. I read that - the big chemical companies cracking down on hobbyists and crafters ordering samples. Unfortunately, I haven't set up a business. Making Cosmetics has almost all of them, but those prices... Woah! Modernist Pantry has microcrystalline cellulose, which I don't think will perform the same as ethyl cellulose. Hydroxyethyl and methyl cellulose seem plentiful but not oil-soluble, I think. I'm searching for oil-soluble gelling agents that can thicken or gel oils.
