- As an ingredient in homemade soaps for better emulsions or as a whitening agent
- Added to lotions, ointments, and creams as an emulsifier and thickener
- Added to natural toothpaste recipes
- Added to shampoos and conditioners to increase viscosity
- Only a small amount is needed to increase the viscosity of a product (.5%-1%)
