    Hi everyone,

    i am having a little trouble with a bodywash. It looks good, ir works good…but it becomes “twolayered” in a matter of hours.
    I used a surfatant mix of CAPB, SCS an SCI (30% of formula), glycerin, polyquaternium-7, panthenol and fragrance oil. I also used dehydroacetic acid and benzyl alcohol as preservative and some citric acid for lowering the pH (neutral).
    Here is how it looks like:

    Any ideas what did i do wrong?

    Update:

    I think it is not a separation problem! Bodywash is gradualy turning from white to transparent.
    It is just changing from opaque to clear :D
    How come i didn`t think about it before?
