    are there any surfactants that lend itself to making a stringy product in cleansers/body washes/shampoos?  Is there a raw material that may aide in this? Do customers really notice the strings?

    Have you tried xanthan gum? lol. Would a stringy look be part of your marketing? Because it’s not something that is particularly marketed. Normally this kind of stringy texture is used for marketing snail mucin or some premium polymers humectants like Polyglutamic Acid creams.

    Will xanthan gum control stringy texture?  I don’t want the stringy texture. I am using a non sulfate free system.  Is there a way to control the stringy texture in a non sulfate free system?
