Guar Gum (Cationic) with nonionic surfactants and anionic emulsifier
Hi,
I am working on a dog shampoo and used guar gum at 0.3% for its conditioning benefits as well as thickening. The primary and secondary surfactants are nonionic and amphoteric, but I am usesing 2.5% Glyceryl Stearate Citract at 2.5%. The water phase was sufficiently fhick, but after the emulsion and add the surfactants, the formula lost viscosity. Here is the basic formula:
