To thicken liquid Castile soap with xanthan gum, follow these steps:
- Measure Ingredients: Determine the amount of liquid Castile soap you want to thicken and measure out the xanthan gum. A general guideline is to use about 0.5% to 2% xanthan gum based on the weight of the soap.
- Create a Slurry: To avoid clumping, mix the xanthan gum with a small amount of a compatible liquid (like water or a bit of the soap) to create a slurry. Stir until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually add the xanthan gum slurry to the liquid Castile soap while stirring continuously. This helps to evenly distribute the xanthan gum throughout the soap.
- Mix Well: Use a whisk or an immersion blender to mix thoroughly until the soap reaches your desired thickness. Be careful not to overmix, as this can incorporate too much air.
- Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for a few hours. Xanthan gum can continue to thicken over time, so you may find it thickens further after resting.
- Adjust if Necessary: If you want a thicker consistency, you can repeat the process by adding more xanthan gum.
