  Will Carbomer 940 thicken my shampoo?

  Posted by arhlene.lyons on January 10, 2025 at 8:47 pm

  Please could someone advise me on a thickener for my shampoo.

  I have tried salt- didn’t thicken. I tried Xanthan gum but it’s not a nice consistency (snotty).

  Will Carbomer 940 work? I have an idea that HEC will split the shampoo over time.

  Recipe:

  Water 62.3%

  Sodium C14-16 alpha Olefin sulphanate 12%

  Coco glucoside 7.5%

  Glycerin 5%

  CAPB 5%

  PQ 7- 3%

  PQ 10 - 0.2%

  Dimethicone 3%

  Preservative (LGP) 0.5%

  Citric acid 0.2%

  EO blend 1%

  Thank you for taking the time to advise me.
