    Hi there, my shampoo formula too liquid and i want to thicken it. i’m using decyl glucoside, CAPB, Sodium cocoyl isethionate, and CDEA as surfactants, for thickener i’m using Acrylates copolymer 3.5% and Sodium Chloride 1% but it doesn’t work. what would i do, any suggestions? and for the products that become products, is it possible to rework them to thicken even the shampoo is already done as a product? Thanks in advace..

    let me tell you that in sulfate free formulations you don’t required sodium chloride. it’s does not work in sulfate free formulations. Here are some tips which can help you.

    GHTC=0.1%

    PQ-10=0.1%

    PEG 150 DiStearate=1%

    Primary surfactant=18%

    Secondary surfactant=14%

    Acrylates Copolymer=2%

    Replace your past formulation with this.

      how about the condition or order of process? is it possible to make this with cold process/just a little heat at first?

          That will be not the level of active surfactants but the level of surfactants and even it is the level of active it is higher then the required.

    GHTC and PQ-10 is also work as a conditioning agent and yes because of PEG 150 Distearate you must heat this phase.if you add more conditioning in you shampoo than you can add Dimethiconol (and) TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate(silicone emulsion) or CTAC or PEG 7 or more…

    and still if you will facing some problems than you will contact me +91 8141097180
