PH of product (help)
-
Thank you belassi for guides, will try it asap and let you know how will turn out. Bob, yes will try to use NaOH (10% solution) to thick carbomer. So best thing just to add to carbomer to achive ph of 5 - 5.5 right ? And than add oils in to it?

@nasrins: Just the freeze-thaw test cycle and observation over time, that’s all.

What i found interesting is, i did as told and i must say i was really happy. But as soon as i add last ingredient-Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey at 1% it brakes down thicknes. Probably react with carbomer. Can i avoid this somehow (not replacing carbomer/hoey quad)?
Greg -
You have an anionic cocktail and then you add something cationic, it is BOUND to happen.
-
@milliachemist is right, you can’t use cationics in your formula at all. Either the honeyquat has got to go, or you have to change your formula drastically.
-
@bobzchemist you mean every cationic ingredient is incompatible with carbomer?
-
Hmm, honeyquad is nice for skin, but can be replaced with any other natural ingredient or will not make diference if i pull it out (for skin) ? Also will it make formula unstable or just less thicker ? if i leave it in formula ?
