    @Zahra - You should read this Types of cosmetic ingredients

    Keratin is what I would call a “claims” ingredient. The strategy companies do is make a standard straightener, add a small amount of keratin and then call it a keratin hair straightener. But the keratin doesn’t really have much effect.

    Hello Mr. Perry, thank you
    Yes, keratin protein only seems to play a small role in my opinion.
    Because above 15% makes hair brittle.
    I have trouble in the manufacturing process of exactly what to combine with what.
    For how long
    Do I have to put keratin and cationic surfactants on the temperature and stir and then dry them and mix them with silicone and oil and other emollients or not? Is it another way or not …
    I wanted to get help from Mr. Matt. You can introduce me to him. He has experience in this field.

    One hair straightening ingredient is formaldehyde that i think doesn’t have any alternative.

    Another way is conditioner with silicones. 

    Hi, thanks
    Yes, I know, but in making hair straighteners
    This substance is not used in Brazilian keratins for hair straightening.
    I have read in many articles that thioglycolic acid or glycolic acid or glyoxylic acid has been used instead.

    Hello, thank you for your good comments
    But to make a hair straightener using cationic surfactants, I do not know if a few surfactants are used, it should be a few percent in a total volume of 50 grams.
    When I increase them, stickiness is created, when I use them less, it does not give the desired result.

    In your opinion
    Hair straighteners
    What surfactants are used instead of formaldehyde?
    I have a problem with the production process
    No one can help this process?

    Then don’t use more or less. Use the middle amount

    Just be careful you don’t hurt yourself with your products or ingredients. 

    I know your situation right now. 
    I was in your situation when i started thinking about making cosmetic products.

    Let’s make a few things clear 

    You don’t know anything right now. (With respect)

    The products you make will be worse than any product in the market. Accept this fact

    If you want to make a good product, study some reputable books in cosmetic or take a reputable course like the course from this website to make learning faster and easier for you. 
    Or purchase a good formula from an good chemist with a good price and save yourself a lot of time and money and everything.
    There are a lot of good chemist here an most of them would sell you formula.

    And last, try and test and try and test until you make something good. That is how we learn and improve. 

    I have made about 400 different versions of shampoo that was not as good as what i am currently making. 
    I have washed my hairs several times a day, several times to find out the long term effect of it faster. 
    Like this my other products. 

    Do don’t expect your first product sample to be the best for the next of your life.

    Hi thanks
    But I have a master’s degree in organic chemistry myself.
    I will try my best.
    I used ingredients that are found in many cosmetic products
    I also set the percentages based on the allowed percentages.
    I am looking for a solution.
    Do not seek comparison.
    Thank you, I’m careful.
    I work for a cosmetics company.

    @Zahra  - if you want help, list all the ingredients you are using, the percentages you are using, the manufacturing procedure you are following, and the problem you are having. 

    Without that information there is not much helpful advice people can give.

    Hello
    I did not say that because I have a master’s degree
    I know better than anyone !!!! ??
    Here are tips on various issues.
    Because you have failed in some products. You say your products are worse than other products on the market.
    I am currently a researcher and I need a lot of experience because I am new to cosmetics.
    I asked you for guidance.
    Thank you for your hope!

    I asked you for help because I work as a novice cosmetics researcher in a company.
    I have been working for 16 months.
    I did not receive a salary.
    I have made many commitments to produce many products.

    I read a lot on beauty sites and books.

    I read many articles to get each product.
    I asked a question because I was skeptical about a certain percentage of the materials and the manufacturing process.

    Hello, thank you for your help
    I try like you
    I tried so hard
    Because the material money is not from me, it belongs to the company, they reduce their loss from me.
    I also studied chemistry.
    But in our country, like in European countries, chemistry is not taught properly in many universities.

    You can start from these free formulas, there’re also manufacturing processes in there.

    I’m sorry, this is the extent limit I can help as we might be direct competitor in the near future.

      Ingredient:
      Collagen protein 4.6 g
      Hydrolyzed keratin protein 4.5 g
      Cysteine 0.53 g
      Polyvinyl alcohol 0.11 g
      Polyvinyl pyrrolidone 0.5 g
      2 drops of glycolic acid
      3 drops of glyoxylic acid
      Polydimethylsiloxane 5 cc
      Dimethicone 2 cc
      Dimethicone 350 ……. 3 cc
      Amo Dimethicone 5.5 cc
      Elastomeric silicon 9045 …… 1 cc
      Hydroxyethyl cellulose 0.5 g
      Disodium 0.1 g
      Water 15 cc
      Ethyl hexyl glycerol 0.64 g
      Tocopherol acetate 0.37 g
      Polysorbate 0.3 g
      Polyquaternium 6 …… 0.4 g
      Phenoxyethanol 0.5 g
      Cetyl stearyl alcohol 0.7 g
      Stearate -20. …… 0.6 g
      Butter object butter 2 g
      Dexpanthenol 2.7 g
      Stainless alcohol 0.8 g
      I set the aqueous phase at 80 ° C.
      Place the silicones at 110 ° C after dropping the temperature to 80 ° C
      Place the oil phase at 80 ° C
      After a while
      Mix the phases together.
      But when applied to the hair, it does not give much result.
      The hair is up to 40% smooth and soft.

      I have synthesized about 75 types of hair straighteners, but the results are almost the same
      I also set the pH to 5.5 to 6
      I do not know if the work process is difficult or not?

      I think I reduced the amount of cationic surfactants because the static electricity charge in the hair was not neutralized.
      On the other hand, I wanted to use non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants.
      What do you think could be the problem?
