I found an online source at
http://www.tri-esssciences.com/index.html

I use it to thicken the henna paste when it is too thin.
Incidentally the titanium dioxide will whiten the paste and make it
appear a light greenish-brown color instead of the dark green ‘goose
poop’ color. I rather like this side effect because then I can
easily see a color change in the paste.

Also it will emulsify the oil and water mixture so it keeps the oil
from separating out. Though I am not sure how effective it is since
I don’t use oil and I don’t usually have to adjust the thickness of
the paste.

This stuff will form lumps easily so mix well. I try to add a little
bit of the liquid to the powder and keep adding a little at a time
while stirring. You would probably be prudent to strain the paste if
you are going to use it.
