Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Guar gum and lamesoft

  • Guar gum and lamesoft

    Posted by antmagn on June 28, 2018 at 1:34 pm

    Hello I have this simple shampoo formula 

    Warer 60%
    Aloe Vera 10%
    Glycerin 5%
    Panthenol 2%

    DSL mild 10% (disodium laureth sulfosuccinate)
    Cocoamiropropyl betaine 10%

    Guar gum 1%
    Preservative
    Citric acid

    I get a nice and viscous texture but if I try to add lamesoft even at 1% my texture gets thin and clamps. You think that guar gum does not work with gums?

    Which Lamesoft are you referring to - there is more than one grade and they are all different
    TM Benz for instance is a nice pearl concentrate
    PO65 is the material that gives a 24 hour moisturising claim if you use enough

     Sorry you are right, Coco-Glucoside (and) Glyceryl Oleate

    Can you help? Is it just the nature of gums that are not compatible ?
