<br>Laponite is a unique clay-based gelling agent. It is a mixture of natural earth oxides that have been milled to a fine particle size. When added to warm water at a 3% to 4% concentration a stiff, clear ?ringing? gel is produced. As with Amigel, you can add additional oily ingredients ? essential oils and blends, vegetable oils and so on ? to create customised preparations. With Laponite Gel, you can add up to an additional 15% of oily ingredients and still have a stable, cream-like product. Laponite Gel is designed to be used as the stiff gel. It cannot be thinned down and still accept a large quantity of additional ingredients, as is the case with Amigel. It has an excellent ?skin feel? when applied.
