coating hair ingredients
I have heard that panthenol and maybe also castor oil realy coat the hair so that thin hair looks thicker. Is there other ingredients that do the same thing? I like to formulate a “hair thickening” conditioner, maybe leave-on conditioner

That whole coating the hair thing is used as a marketing term. Most of the time, thickening products make hair looks thicker by incorporating a polymer into the product which will give your hair volume and keep the hair toghether.
You can do this by adding something like PVP at 1% or something like VP/VA copolymer. I will add that it won’t do much in a conditioner since most of the polymer would ne rinsed away. A leave-in conditioner could work.
