Our ultra thick shower gel is so thick that you can suspend
almost anything. It is very popular and of the highest quality.
It also doubles as a bubble bath base if so desired. It is crystal
clear and instructions for scenting is below:
Items needed to custom blend your own luxury shower gel:
-
1 lb. shower
gel*
- ~1/4 to 1/2 oz. fragrance
oil (SOS Concentration) - You will need to adjust for Ultra Concentrate
(to ~1/6 to 1/8 oz.) or Extreme
Concentrate (to ~1/8 to 1/10 oz. or several squirts from an eye dropper)
- FD&C water based colorant (if desired)
- Hand towels (if needed)
- Polysorbate 20
* Don't forget to purchase some spout
caps for the larger bottles to work with or if you purchased
a gallon
jug, to have a lotion
pump to work with as it will make it easier.
Step 1: Slowly heat a medium to large sized pot
of water for double boiling (if you have a double boiler- then
use that instead).
Step 2: Fill the bottle(s) with shower gel .
Step 3: Put the bottle(s) in the pot and watch very
closely (this will thin the shower gel and make it more manageable).
Do not over boil, as the gel tends to bubble over. WATCH
THE SHOWER GEL CAREFULLY
Step 4: When the shower gel is thin, remove from water.
Step 5: Add your fragrance
oil (equal parts fragrance and equal parts polysorbate), and a couple drops of water based colorant as desired. The polysorbate will solve the emulsification issues, allow the mixture to remain clear and thick.

REMEMBER: To also add the equivalent amount of polysorbate to aid the mixture.
Step 6: Put the cap on, and gently fold mix evenly.
(Tip: Put the bottle in your hand and extend your hand in front
of your body. Then gently rotate the bottle from left to right. DO NOT SHAKE THE BOTTLE or you will get a massive
amount of bubbles and it may break down the consistency permanently.
Step 7: If you are pouring into smaller containers,
now is a good time, otherwise, let cool in this bottle and the
gel will thicken. We sell HDPE
plastic bottles and spout
caps and PET plastic bullet bottles with caps for smaller
sizes.
For larger batches (1 gallon) put filled gallon jug in a pot
of water and follow the instructions above. Be sure to
have a lotion
pump as it may make it easier to work with.
NOTE:
- You can
also heat up larger batches in the microwave. However, you will
need to watch this product very closely, as it will overflow if it is left unattended.
- Fragrance
usage rates: 2-6 oz per gallon (depending on preference). Adjust
for Ultra
Concentrate or Extreme
Concentrate.
- FD&C colorant:
add by drops.
