    Use

    The dosage range varies depending on the application: 0.5–2.0% for oil-phase thickening,adjusted according to the desired viscosity in oils, balms, or creams, 0.3–1.5% for pigment suspension (in foundations, eyeshadows, or clay masks), and 0.2–1.0% for emulsion stabilization (in lotions, serums, or emulsified oils).   For the application method, pre-hydrate by dispersing it in oil or glycerin first to form a smooth gel before incorporating it into the formulation to prevent clumping, and it can be added during cold or warm processing as it remains stable up to 70°C.
