Hair Serum Silicone
Hi, I recently created a hair serum with a silicone base. However, the serum didn’t turn out clear. Please take a look at the formulation below. I’m unsure if the formulation is correct.
Thank You

Try doing a knock-out test. Your refined Pracaxi Oil might not be too compatible with your silicones. Also, why are you using an emulsion? Keep in mind that your Amodimethicone, C11-15 Alketh-7, Laureth-9, Glycerin, Trideceth-12 is an emulsion and has water, which can be also affecting your clarity.

i add Dimethicone & DC 1401 and it become cloudy after i add Phenyl Trimethicone. should i just skip Phenyl Trimethicone?

The level of perfume is too high and can be the reason.
