Advice shampoo I made. Shall I add solubiliser?
Hi everybody,
I made a clear shampoo with:
40% sles
10 % capb
0.75% PEHG
0.25% NaBenz
0.2 % EDTA
water qs
0.4 % fragrance
pH 4,5
I have been using for months. However I changed the fragrance and now the shampoo is not longer clear. the color is like skimmed milk. I really don’t mind but at the same time I fear stability or efficacy issues.

@Nyatou you already HAVE solubilizers in your formula. You need to add that fragrance directly into the CAPB first and mix well, then slowly add the pre-mix into the SLES shampoo while warm (40C). If that doesn’t work, add a PEG ester (e.g. PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, PEG-40 castor oil) to pre-mix with the CAPB & fragrance. Those will not compromise viscosity or foam.
