Wheat ProteinIs that a rinse-off or a leave-on product?
If that’s a rinse off, then you can get rid of Sodium phytate, protein and panthenol as they’d just end up in the drain without doing anything noticeable to hair. Perhaps get rid of the basasu oil too.If it’s a leave-on product, then get rid of betaine (Is that actually cocamido propyl betaine?) as its a surfactant, and surfactants aren’t meant for leave on products.
Get rid or sharply lower the protein as it doesn’t really do anything to hair and will leave a sticky feeling. -
it’s a rinse-off product…which emulsifier do you recommend??

Cetearyl Alcohol and Behentrimonium Methosulfat??

Cetrimonium doesn’t seem to be too different from Behentrimonium
both work good enough
https://chemistscorner.com/cosmeticsciencetalk/discussion/5938/anyone-else-believes-cetac-fatty-alcohol-is-more-detangling-and-conditioning-than-btms/p1So for a rinse off product you can try something like
- Cetrimonium/Behentrimonium 2-3% (in an active basis, check to see how much active ingredient it has as supplied).
- fatty alcohol 3-4 %
- silicone 1-2%
- preservative
