Cloudiness after adjusting pH of my shampoo
Hello there! I need help for my shampoo. I intended to make a clear/ translucent non-sulfate shampoo but somehow it became white/ cloudy once I adjusted my pH to around 5.5. The original pH was around 8.5 and it was pretty clear. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you also add sodium chloride? You could try one sample without PQ-7 and adding Guar HPTC at the start (before the surfactants).

My approach in producing shampoo is different. I saponify coconut oil to produce a lathering and very cleansing shampoo.
Attached is a pic of my shampoo.
