  • Polyquaternium 10 incorporation in a gentle cleansing gel

    Posted by aicha10 on February 16, 2024 at 4:33 am

    Hello chemists,

    I’m trying to incorporate polyquaternium 10 into a gentle cleansing gel base that contains glycerin, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, cocoglucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine, PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate, and polyquaternium 7, propylene glycol, but it still forms small granules that float on the surface of the gel. The pH is 5.8,

    If someone can give me advice, I will be grateful.

    You need to add it at the start of the process into the vortex, with vigorous mixing, keeping it for some time till you see no granules. Alternatively, you can heat your water to around 60°C, since PQ-10 will mix better in warm water.
