Usage (Please note the following are not manufacturers recommendations but are based in our own experience of working with this polymer for a while)

Stabilising / thickening polymer in creams – 0.3% – 0.4% added to heated water phase (add other heated water phase ingredients and heat to 80c – sprinkle Sepimax onto surface of water while whizzing with a stick blender on full speed). Then add the heated oil phase. Works well with Olivem 1000 and Montanov 68

Gelling agent. 1.5% to 3% added to cold water. Sprinkle onto surface and leave for 8 hours. Then gently stir with a spatula or similar suitable implement. You should obtain a crystal clear gel.

Sepimax Zen is an ideal gelling agent for making hand sanitiser. Although the manufacturer (Seppic) states that Sepimax Zen at 3% can support 70% alcohol, their own recipe for a 68% alcohol sanitising gel uses 0.8% Sepimax Zen. We recommend the addition of Zemea Propanediol (vegetable derived) or Glycerine at 4% to offset the drying effect of the alcohol.

Our recipe would be

Isopropyl Alcohol 70%     952g
Glycerine or Propanediol  40g
Sepimax Zen                    8g

If you wish, you can add a couple of drops of tea tree, mint, or eucalyptus oil to the gel before adding the sepimax zen.

If ordering this product to make your own sanitising gel we have 100ml white plastic bottles with lotion pumps available for just 50p each (plus VAT) View here
