Comments
Depending on formula, many big formulators fill in a heat tunnel to avoid skinning etc. Plus depends on humidity where you are filling, ambient temps etc. and when you cap your products.
Triethanolamine (TEA) for adjusting pH
pH of 5-6 is good for hair products to my knowledge. You will need to test the pH of the product to see where it's falling.
