NEW! VegeThix™ Flakes can be used to increase viscosity in liquid oils and is the perfect vegan ingredient for thickening oil soluble products! VegeThix™ Flakes are ideal for butters, balms, salves, scrubs, creams, lotions and other products. VegeThix™ Flakes are easy to use. Simply melt VegeThix™ Flakes with any liquid oil and allow to cool.
By varying the percentages, the desired consistency can be obtained. For example, 15% VegeThix Flakes combined with a liquid oil will yield a very, very soft "butter". For a very firm "butter", use 35% or more VegeThix Flakes. Typically 20%-30% VegeThix Flakes are required for a moderately firm "butter".
VegeThix Flakes are derived from 100% Soybean Oil.
