conditioning agent in shampoo

Posted by amitvedakar on July 25, 2020 at 5:41 am

My formulat contains: SLES, CAPB, Cocodiethanoamide, Polyquat-7, Herbal Extract, GHTC, Glycerin, Preservatives,

can Adding PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate benefit for smooth & shiny effect to hair?

and what about adding Wheat Quat C.

pH-5.5 to 6

or can anyone suggest any conditioning ingredient?

You’ve already got Polyquaternium 7 in as the conditioning ingredient. You could add more. Or try adding Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride.

PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate will just wash out so I wouldn’t expect it to have much effect.

I really like watersoluble (mixed with emulsifiers) amodimethicone and quaternium-80. Polyquaternium-10 comes in different varieties and can be very conditioning.

Thinking of adding Dimethicone (350cst)-0.3% to 0.4%

add +above blend 0.5%

@amitvedakar, that blend isn’t bad but it’s white. If the transparency of the product is important, you might want to consider other blends.

@ngarayeva001 mine is green (herbal effect) colored shampoo so I think white color will not effect much.

Infect only available blend now.

Thank you.

@@amitvedakar be careful when adding amodimethicone/cetrimonium chloride to a formula that has LESS since depending on the dose, cetrimonium chloride could interact with LESS forming a precipitate. You can insteade DC 8500 which is a polyether amodimethicone which is designed for anionic clear surfactant systems.
