Thickeners on sale at TDF.....

[Michi]

Just thought this was informative, if you've been thinking about using a thickening agent in your products and you don't get the TDF emails.

Do any of the "experts" recommend one or the other of these? And do certain thickeners work better in certain products?

Obviously, I've never used any of these products before, so I thought it would be interesting to get some info. from some of you who have.

I've been experimenting w/ crothix in my soy body wash base as its watery and not alot of suds. I got crothix and a foam booster from WSP awhile ago (one of those someday products). My original intent was to make a bubble bath, after a few failed tries I decided to just add these two ingredients and have a wonderful soy based body wash ( as I brought a gallon of it). A little of the crothix goes a L O N G way. I made some the other night for my kids, and I tried it and wow was it thick, I added 5% to my recipe WAY TOO MUCH!!
