Nothing totally wrong with it - it could work with the right marketing. (assuming you have the right pH)However I think you could learn from this post: -
Good thing you have propylene glycol in there (aka “propanediol”) else this would be one sticky mess. In fact it may still be one - is this the case mello?
Also, whassup with the creatine (sic “creating”)? -
@Chemicalmatt yes it is a bit sticky.I am trying to make it less sticky, any suggestion.
@David. Thanks for the link. -
You can reduce the stickiness by reducing the Panthenol to 1% and the Betaine Sugar Extract down to 3% and increase the Bamboo Extract to 8% … I am assuming that the Bamboo Extract you are using is in Water … or is it in Glycerin? If in Glycerine, up it to 4% or so, if in Water you can go up to 10%. That should help considerably with the stickiness. -
@Markbroussard thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.
