Use

Use Sucragel at a concentration of 20–25% of the product weight. First stir it gently (do not whisk), then add the oils drop by drop until you obtain the desired gel texture.
It is used for:

• cleansing gels (oil-to-milk cleanser)

• creams and lotions

• after-sun gels

• make-up removers

• massage gels

• lip balms

• luxurious facial oils that turn into milk on contact with water

Important: the mixing process must be gradual and precise, as otherwise the phases may separate.

Sucragel is a translucent, slightly thick liquid with a pleasant feel on the skin. Thanks to its natural composition and excellent compatibility with oils and essential oils, it is an indispensable ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations.

It works very well as a natural emulsifier – it allows an oil to turn into a smooth gel that transforms into a gentle milk when applied to wet skin. This is especially useful for facial cleansing, as it does not dry out the skin but gently cleanses and moisturises it.

Thanks to its softening and soothing properties it is also suitable for care after sun exposure or shaving. Because it contains no preservatives, we recommend using the finished product within a short time, or adding a natural preservative if it is made for longer use.

Sucragel is an oil emulsifier and oil-phase thickener. It gels oil and forms gel emulsions. It can also be used to make a cold-process emulsion. It can be used to make oil gels, cleansing gels, lotions, body milks and shower gels. It is used at 5-25% for making cleansing gels and 5-10% for making emulsions. Stable in the pH range 4-8. When making gels, always mix the oils in first and then add the water-soluble ingredients.

Not for oral use. Store at room temperature, protected from light and out of the reach of children. Must not come into contact with the mucous membranes of the eyes.

1. Can I use Sucragel without adding water?
Yes, Sucragel is designed to bind with oils. You can add water if you want to make an emulsion or a lighter gel.

2. Why does the gel sometimes separate?
The oil was probably added too quickly or too much at once. Add it drop by drop and keep stirring gently the whole time.

3. Is it suitable for preservative-free products?
Sucragel itself contains no preservatives, so we recommend always also using a preservative (e.g. Cosgard) in products that contain water.

4. What is the difference between Sucragel and emulsifiers?
Sucragel makes it possible to create stable gels without classic emulsifiers – it is a gel base, not a typical emulsifier. Its advantage is that it is also easy to use at home.
