ph adjusting; natural ph falls around 6.5 you can not lower the ph of the product or it will become too thin.

Note; With most carbomers you have to adjust the ph in order for the solution to gel. With sodium carbomer it is already pre neutralized, so no ph adjusting is needed. Just make sure your solution has a ph around 5.5-6.5 before adding in the sodium carbomer or else it will not gel.
