LET'S TEST IT | How to make CLEAR GEL | GELLING AGENTS & THICKENERS | EP.1

[@Connie-sx7nz]

You just saved me some coin and a trip to the store 😂 Feeling lazy to head out to the store for Aloe Vera gel and Amazon is selling the one I want at twice the amount I paid for it at my local health store. I have Aloe Vera juice in my fridge and food grade Xanthan gum in my pantry, so I guess I’m good to go. 😊 👍🏽 ** Edit ** OMG I just made me some Aloe Vera gel. My nieces are going to love me. They’re constantly buying gel and I haven’t made flaxseed gel in over a year. I love flaxseed gel but it is kind of time consuming. This took less than five minutes with a mixer. Mixed it in a bowl then transferred it to a jar (just kind of plopped in there on it’s own 😂). Thank you so much for this. 😘

[@razialatheef5742]

For 100 ml aloe vera juice how much you added Xanthan gum? Please help me.

[@Connie-sx7nz]

@@razialatheef5742 you can also use Guar gum. I usually use anywhere from 1/4 tsp to 1 tsp of guar gum or Xanthan gum with vegetable glycerin. So I would suggest mixing 1/2 tsp of your gum with 1 tbsp of glycerin then add it to the aloe vera. The more you mix the aloe the thicker the gel will become. If you need it thicker mix more gum with glycerin to add to your aloe vera (this needs to be done separately, do not add it straight to the already made mixture). Hope this helps. Let me know how it turned out. Good luck 😊

[@ariyachan7927]

I’ve been waiting for u to do a video like this!!!!! OMG

I am so glad I could help. Let me know if you have any other request.😊

[@kassadayj]

What amount of water was being used ?

[@BeyondSightNetwork]

Woow this is a wealth of information. Thank you so much for this. Is it possible to put these products in aloe Vera or flaxseed or add any other ingredients to these gels to make them better for the health of our hair? Thank you very much

[@xanadu1jw]

I need to be able to create an edible gel to moisturize my mouth because of Sjögren’s syndrome. They charge an arm and a leg for tiny amounts of it at the store and I am a 71 year old grandmother on a limited income. Could you share with me what I can use and how to make something like this? Thank you so much!

[@harshroshana9568]

Does xanthan gum gives a sticky feeling after applied on face ??

[@kenishawhite4874]

Question. If we wanted to add more things to it to make a hair gel (or in case for the first one - a lotion) when would it best to add the solid phrase since it thickens so fast? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[@YayaDIYCreations]

No question is dumb. Trust me lol. For Aristoflex AVC, as long as the oil phase is 5% or less, you can add a butter, etc. You will have to melt the butter down and then let it slightly cool. Then you will combine the water, the gelling agent, and the oil phase at the same time. Mix and you will have a lotion or depending on if you use a liquid oil instead; a gel. I hope this helps. Xanthan gum clear can not act as an emulsifier, so this will not work. Guar gum can act as an emulsifier, but I would also watch the water-to-oil ratio. Hope this helps.

[@kenishawhite4874]

@@YayaDIYCreations This did help. Thank you soo much! So glad your back. Are you mixing these in a 4oz distill water? Once to make sure I get the water ratio correct lol

[@YayaDIYCreations]

@@kenishawhite4874 You are so welcome. Glad to help. It is a little under 4 oz. Just about 96 grams, which would be roughly about 3.40 oz. And yes the water is distilled.

[@Cocoamour96]

Yaya hi I was curious what would make the most stabilizing shiny lip gloss base. As I’m trying to no longer use premise base and create my own I’m nervous because you said for the first one to stay stable you have to use less than 5 percent oil

[@YayaDIYCreations]

@@Cocoamour96 I have not tested the Aristoflex AVC to make a lip gloss yet, but if I had to choose; I would say it has the best texture and stability for a lip gloss. It is also lip safe 👌🏽 And yes, it can only bond oil-in-water emulsions that have 5% or less of the oil phase. Anything more may destabilize the product and cause the oil and water phases to separate. Good luck with your creation.

Now I know I need to purchase either the cosmetic grade of Guar Gum or go straight to Xanthan Gum. Thanks!!!

just use alcohol, mix agent in it before mixing and then pour into warm water. Alcohol will evaporate from the solution.

[@JenSpice]

You can also mix guar and xanthan at .5% each. I find it does improve the texture, viscosity and stability in soap products. I am loving this combination for my higher pH natural liquid soaps that will not thicken with salt. I love aristoflex in my hand sanitizers!

[@tomiwaphillips]

Hi, I love your videos. I find that mixing xanthan gum with glycerin first, before adding the water makes the gelling process, smoother and faster.

[@YayaDIYCreations]

Oluwatomiwa Ayonrinde Thank you so much for sharing. I have done it with glycerin, but I didn’t want to add another variable in this test. I wanted it to show each one just in water. I hope that makes sense. Lol

[@bcorp9275]

This was/is THE BEST video ever!!! Did you mention aristoflex is natural or ie food grade some can be a little caution you know what I mean.. thx again

[@YayaDIYCreations]

Thank you for the kind words! The Aristoflex AVC is a synthetic gelling agent. It is not natural, but it is also not harmful. Very delicate, light gelling agent. The Xanthan gum clear is naturally derived and the guar gum is food grade. I do not recommend using food grade ingredients in formulations. I hope this helps 💜

[@khushbumeshram7884]

Can you show how to make versagel

[@29msmoni]

Would either of these work with aloe vera and alcohol? I want to make hand sanitizer but I want a gel consistency. TIA and thanks for the video.

[@YayaDIYCreations]

29msmoni I believe they all will work fine with alcohols depending on percentage used. However, I know that Aristoflex AVC can be very sensitive. It does not work with Aloe Vera, salts in general; like hydrolyzed proteins. I hope this helps.

This was the only actually helpful thing I've watched in the past month researching how to make homemade shampoo. I keep reading "add salt, add salt, add glycerin..." but with not a lot of details on how much, in what ratios, or when or at what temperatures... and also none of those worked for thickening my shampoo, like at ALL. So I was a little irrirated and thought MAYBE I'll try one more thing (a gum like xanthan) but I was already pre-annoyed that it probably won't work - just like the glycerin I tried and salt all didn't. But this video actually shows me the difference between these, and how to get those results - so finally I can clearly see what I need now. Thanks!

Jason Henson This will depend on what you are trying to make. If you are adding co-emulsifiers or thickeners for like a lotion or curling custard, you can definitely use less. Like 1.5% And yes, the blender will definitely work to hydrate all of the guar gum. Does this help answer your question?
