    Hi all. Crodex A seems to be made up of cetostearyl alcohol and SLS. Anybody know what % the various components are? I am not able to find this on the croda literature i have. Client really insist on using this as an emulsifyer for a conditioner.

    Thank why not use it?
    You should ask the CoA for Crodex A. Most likely they list some wide rages for each component of that blend

    This is an anionic emulsifier and will not be compatible with the cationic raw materials used in conditioners.

    @ozgirl my thoughts exactly but the client insist that his previous packer used this. i have made a couple of samples but it does not emulsify well.
