Sucrabases are 100% natural, versatile cosmetic oily gel bases Sucrabase is a stable micro-emulsion made with Sucragel and a single oil When water is added the oily gel changes into a cream or a light lotion. These bases enable easy formulation of a wide variety of finished products and textures in just a few easy steps without the need for any heat or complicated equipment.
Addition Of Oil Based Ingredients
Oils can be added at a level of up to of the Sucrabase: e.g. 80g Sucrabase can take an additional 4g oil Simply stir the oils gradually into the gel until they are all incorporated. Vegetable oils, Esters, Silicones, Butters and Waxes, Essential oils, Fragrance oils and oil based active s The oil must be added as the first step of your formulation before any other ingredients are added.
Addition Of Water & Water Soluble Materials
The addition of water, water soluble actives or water gels will cause the oily gels to instantly emulsify (form a cloudy/white solution)
- If more than 10% water is added it is recommended to add a water thickener.
- Carbomer gels, Sucrathix gels etc. can also be added at this stage which will provide the viscosity to the final product.
Addition of Other Ingredients
Addition of Glycerine:
Glycerine can be added after the addition of oils. Glycerine thins down the gel to give a honey-like texture without effecting the clarity of the gel. Recommended amount: 5% to up to 25%.
Powders:

Exfoliators:
Scrub particles such as sugar, salt, nut kernels, silica, bamboo and jojoba beads can be stirred in at the end to make an exfoliating based product. Recommended amount: 1-25%.
Preservatives and fragrance:
These can be added in at the end however any formulations without water do not require a preservative.
