Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Citronellol shampoo

  • Citronellol shampoo

    Messed around with some carbomer and Lauramine oxide.  Got that into a gel, mixed some EtOH and citronellol together then put it in the beaker.  haha, made an insane thick white ballistic type gel.  This was my first attempt at making a citronellol shampoo.  Has anyone made something like this?  Ideally….  I’d like it to be clear and not really thick ~5000cps.  This is behaving the same way as d-limonene.  I haven’t done much research yet just spit balling in the lab. THanks

    You can do this without carbomer.

    I would adopt a more orthodox approach if I were you.
