    The only things that are necessary are
    Water
    BTMS-50
    optiphen plus
    Reduce your oils to 1 or 2 you definitely do not need different 9 oils.
    Aloe and honey are bug food so leave these out.
    Add your extracts individually and see if there is any perceivable difference (if not leave them out).
    You probably don’t need cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol. Try each one to see which gives you the feel/viscosity you need.
    Adding so many ingredients like this is just throwing money away.

    I haven’t tried cetyl esters so I can’t really comment on that.
    Polyquaternium 10 might add some additional benefits that BTMS doesn’t but you should just try it with and without Polyquaternium-10 and see if there is a perceivable difference.

    May I ask what additional benefits pg10 has over BTMS?

    Polyquaternium-10 is a high-performing multitasker used to fight frizz, improve hair manageability, and provide defined and bouncy curls. 
    and u cant pass 2% for the usage rate so I don’t know if there’s going to be a difference

    BTMS-50, or Behentrimonium Methosulfate is a vegetable based conditioning emulsifier. It can be used to emulsify cosmetic formula’s (meaning it helps water and oil mix)
