Cetrimonium chloride in leave-in hair conditioner
Hello,
I have problems formulating my product. Particles appear after adding cetrimonium chloride and I have noticed that these impurities are initially present in the product. So I tried to homogenize this product between 30 and 40 ° C but the problem is still present.
1- So do you have a solution for me to solve this problem?
2 - I will also want to add sodium hyaluronate to this formula. So do you have a raw material or a manufacturing process to suggest me so that it can be compatible with cetrimonium chloride?
Here is the list of ingredients present in the product:
Aqua : 87.65%
Hydrolyzed collagen : 1%
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor oil: 7.2%
PEG-12 Dimethicone : 1%
Isoamyl Laurate: 1%
PEG/PPG-17/18 Dimethicone: 1%
Cetrimonium Chloride: 0.25%
Phenoxyethanol: 1%
Thank you

Are you adding CETAC later in the process? That is often a factor: add it first. I’ve observed where PEG-X Dimethicones can crash alkyl quaternary systems such as CETAC, so that may be a factor too, but not as a ppt but a viscosity crash. DO NOT combine sodium hyaluronate with a CETAC system, it will not be stable.

Also, your preservation is not good enough. Phenoxyethanol by itself is not sufficient enough.
