Choose Quantity
Sodium Alginate is a food grade natural, plant based water-soluble polysaccharide that produces a gel consistency when hydrated and imparts an excellent skin feel.  Sodium Alginate has been used in the medical field, in the food industry, and more recently in cosmetics as a skin care ingredient.

Sodium Alginate, also commonly known as Jelly Bomb Powder, is an emulsifier or thickener that creates a gel like substance, much like jello.

It is used in shampoo formulations as a bubble stabilizer and thickener.

Unlike gelatin, Sodium Alginate is soluble in both hot and cold water

It helps create items such as shower bombs, jelly bombs, face masks and more.

  • Leaves skin feeling silky, rich and soft.
  • It has no flavour or odour.
  • Helps create foam.
  • Water-soluble dissolves quickly with agitation.
Sodium Alginate will help to soften, hydrate, and soothe skin and leave it feeling silky and soft. To create a skin care serum or hair gel using water, infusions, distillates, water-soluble extracts, etc., add Sodium Alginate and allow to hydrate for 30-60 minutes.
Alginate is an anionic polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed.

It is completely natural with no chemical modification.
-Easily dispersible in room temperature water (allow 30 – 60 minutes for complete hydration)
-Compatible with a variety of emulsifiers and other skin care ingredients
-Excellent “carrier” for antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients
-Final formula pH may need to be adjusted.

Sodium Alginate

I made Shower Bombs and I love this stuff! Leaves your skin so soft and silky.
I love Soap and More for many reasons. Some of top ones are *quality ingredients and *availability of ingredients/*ingredients I can't get elsewhere, very fast shipping; shipping costs are reasonable, relatively speaking; competitive pricing on most items and excellent customer service.

First Time Using This

Love it! I am so new to Sodium Alginate, and I’m still finding my way around it all. But first few formulations I created were superb, though both behaved very differently. Can’t wait to play more!
