Is this too much for a hair mask formulation?
Is this too many conditioning agents for a hair mask formulation for textured hair?
Ice Hair Restore: 7%
BTMS-50: 3%

Hi,
when you’re using Trade names, please include INCI names. So we don’t have to google it.
Ice Hair Restore - Cetearyl alcohol (35%), behentrimonium chloride (35%), polyquaternium 37 (30)%.In my opinion, it is way too many conditioning agents. Ice Hair Restore would be enough. But there would be someone more experienced with hair care products, so wait for more opinions.

@Paprik - I agree. There is no point in including Cetrimonium Chloride, BTMS and behentrimonium chloride. They will all just compete with each other and most will wash down the drain.

@Paprik thank you!

@Perry and @Paprik I’ve changed the formula and reduced the behentrimonium chloride. I’ve achieved the softness of hair and slip. Do you suggest I reduce the conditioning agents more? Here is the water and oil phases.
water: qs
cetrimonium chloride: 3%Propanediol 1,3: 4%Guar hydrox. Chloride: .5%BTMS-50: 4%Cetearyl Alcohol:5%Caprylic Triglyceride: 5%Sunflower oil:5%Babassu oil:2%Cocoa butter: .5% -
If you’ve achieved what you wanted, I don’t think you need to make any more changes. Unless you want the formula to be less expensive.

@Perry thank you! Could I get the same effect and make it cheaper if I reduce the conditioning agents?
-
Maybe. You just have to test it.
-
Okay thank you very much!

When i was using cationic guar in Shampoo at more than %0.3, the feeling was not good.
