    Hi chemists

    i’m looking for a reliable method to formulate a sulfate-free glycol distearate pearlizing base, i’ve tried laureth 4 and cocamidopropyl betaine but i can’t find the right formula and above all the right process.

    Could you be a bit more specific? There are many cold-process pearlizers that fit with your requirements. Also, different polymers to stabilize them, so it’d be helpful if you give a bit more detail about your issue.

    Got it. I recommend you to do a patent search. I’ve seen few where they describe both the composition and methodology. You can also find that info in few formulation books. In fact, more than the composition, it’s the methodology (especially the cooling process) what’s important for proper crystallization.
