• You can reduce the amount of Cetearyl Alcohol in your creams when you add Cellulose to your mixture.
• When a Cellulose Gum Gel is used in combination with 70-99% strength Isopropyl Alcohol it will create a thin clear gel which has a superior skin feel and is less drying than other hydro-alcoholic hand sanitisers.

• Use 0.1-1%

• Weigh out the Cellulose Gum and add to cold bottled spring water.
• Stir together to mix thoroughly. Keep stirring the mixture for 20-25 minutes continuously to fully hydrate the Cellulose and form a gel. The gel should form after about 10 minutes stirring or less but keep stirring until the 20-25 minutes has elapsed.
• Place jug with gel in a bain-marie and heat to 70C stirring all the time.
• Remove from heat and stir whilst cooling. As it cools slowly add the Stage 2 (heat tolerant) ingredients and stir in thoroughly between additions.
