Versagel ME 750 is a clear, highly occlusive gelled emollient. This is a patented product from Penreco, made from a base of hydrogenated polyisobutene. One of the most desirable features of this material is its ability to resist wear off. It is highly occlusive. It has the ability to suspend fine particulates such as pigments, titanium dioxide, glitter and mica. It can also be a surprisingly messy material with which to work. For example, you'll find that just running utensils and mixing containers through the dishwasher won't remove it. It will also leave a "grease" stain on fabrics. Below are some tips that I share from my own experience of working with this material. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Patch Test
Although sensitivity to this material is very unlikely efore handling Versagel ME 750 its a good idea to do a skin patch test. This is also true of most cosmetic ingredients.

Work Area Preparation
Versagel ME 750 is a very thick gel, but spills are possible. Keep a roll of paper towels on hand for cleanups, and place a large trash bag or drop cloth on the floor. Protective clothing (aprons, old shirts worn as lab coats) is also a good idea. Cover your scales with a layer of Saran wrap or Press- n-Seal wrap. Place a layer of freezer wrap over the counters. This will help prevent contamination, as well as make clean up much easier. Use plastic spoons to dip the material from the jar.

Cleanup
Fabrics: Scrape off as much of the gel as possible with a plastic knife or spoon. Next wipe with a paper towel. Saturate the stain with "Shout", then launder as usual. This generally takes care of the stain, but you may find that another treatment with Shout may be necessary.
Hard Surfaces: Wipe up as much of the gel as possible using a paper towel. You may find a residue left behind. If so, spray with "Shout" and wipe it off. "Shout" works extremely well as a cleaning solvent, but I've also used some of my salt scrub with good results.
Containers and Utensils: Wipe off as much gel as possible using paper towels. Saturate an area of a clean paper towel with "Shout". Use this wipe away any remaining residue, then wash as usual.

Hands and Skin
Wipe away as much of the gel as possible using a paper towel or tissues. Next apply a generous amount of your salt scrub, a hand creme, or a spritz of "Shout". Finally wash with alkaline soap (works much better than detergents) and rinse. My favorite approach is to use a cleansing surfactant made using ultra-mild detergents and botanical oils. Just rinse and that's it.
