  Natural shampoo formula breaks

  Posted by marinaartm on October 23, 2021 at 9:06 am

  Hi!

  I made this shampoo, it performs well but it kind of breaks. It has oil drops on top and it does not look great after 24h

  Phase A:
  Disodium Cocoyl glutamate: 24%
  Decyl glucoside: 10%
  Coco glucoside and glyceril oleate: 10%

  Phase B:
  Water:
  Panthenol: 2%
  Dermofeel: 0,1%
  Powder extracts: 0,22%

  Phase C
  Glycerin: 4%
  Xanthan gum: 1%

  Phase
  ethylhexylglycerin and phenoxyethanol: 1%
  Essential oils: 0,6%

  I mix Phase A, I mix Phase B and add over Phase A(cold process)
  Then i mix Phase C and put it in both the mixed phases and leave it 10 min to form

  Then i add Phase D and adjust PH with lactic acid at around 5-5.5

  What would be the solution? Should i decrease the essential oils? Should i put them in Phase A? Should i modify Phase A percentages?

  Thank you so much!

  It is too much c glucoside and glyceryl oleate. 
  Use 1 or 2% of it.

  Are you sure it performs well?
