Azlok's Clear Suspension Shower Gel Base is a ready-to-use, transparent body wash concentrate that you can pour, scent, colour and bottle straight away. Because it is pre-formulated to cleanse and refresh the skin, you don't need to build a recipe from scratch \it it is done, saving you the guesswork of balancing surfactants at home.
What it is and who it's for
This is a cosmetic raw ingredient meant for makers \emdash home hobbyists, DIY gifters and small skincare businesses. It arrives as a clear, thick liquid with a mild, skin-friendly surfactant system. Its \"suspension\" quality means it can hold small decorative particles like beads or exfoliating grains without them sinking to the bottom, which is handy if you want a fancier finish.
Key points from the specification:
- Vegan friendly, soy free, alcohol free, mineral oil free and formaldehyde free.
- Built around gentle cleansers such as sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl betaine and decyl glucoside.
- Includes skin-conditioning ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, allantoin and sodium PCA.
- Crystal-clear appearance with a rich, cushiony lather.
- Shelf life of 24 months, made in India.
How to use it
The base is ready to use, so the simplest option is to bottle it as-is. If you want to personalise it, work in small batches and stir gently to avoid whipping in air bubbles.
- Start clean. Use sanitised containers and clean utensils so you don't introduce contamination.
- Add fragrance. Blend in a skin-safe fragrance oil or a suitable essential oil at a low percentage. Add slowly and stir until fully dissolved and the gel stays clear.
- Add colour (optional). Use cosmetic-grade water-soluble colourant, one drop at a time, to keep the transparent look.
- Adjust if needed. If your additions thin the gel, a tiny amount of cosmetic salt solution can help thicken it \emdash go carefully, as too much will cloud or break it.
- Rest and bottle. Let the mix settle so bubbles clear, then pour into pump or flip-cap bottles.
Tips and safety notes
Even though this is a mild, ready-made base, treat it like any cosmetic ingredient with care.
- Patch test your finished gel on a small area before regular use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Keep fragrance and colour low \emdash more is not better and can irritate skin or spoil clarity.
- The base contains sodium hydroxide as a pH adjuster within the finished formula; do not add extra acids or alkalis unless you can test pH properly.
- For external use only. Do not ingest. Keep away from eyes and out of reach of children.
- If you make it to sell, keep records, label the ingredients and consider running your own batch checks. Azlok can provide COA and MSDS documentation on request.
