Hello, I assume you forgot to post the ingredients and your possible approach to create the product. The more specific the question, the higher the probability to receive useful comments.

thank u aniela for your replay, i didn’ post ingrdients cuz i have no idea about it only surfactant like : scs sci and capb
look at the inci list of “avril shampoo”
INCI : Sodium coco-sulfate, Erythritol (Tetrahydroxybutane), Citric acid, Xanthan gum, Sodium gluconate, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Sodium bicarbonate, Water, Perfume, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate (sodium salt of benzoic acid), Sodium chloride (salt), Hydrogenated corn starch hydrolysate, Aloe leaf juice powder*

Even it is in tablet form, it is not as difficult as it looks.
I would start with a powder form- it can be pressed later in tablet form.
You just have to use enough % of surfactants, as to have in the shampoo “portion” the right ASM.
You do know the ingredients, so I suggest you analize them one by one and when it starts making sense for you, design a simple formula and take it from there.
You do not need any emulsifiers.

thank you i’ll try what u suggested

Apparent “preservation” is silly. Sodium bicarbonate will offer an alkaline pH - the sorbate benzoate require an acidic pH for any efficacy. Also wonder how this stuff works in hard water.
Is one tablet used each time one shampoos or diluted in another vessel for use over some time period?

This is their guidance, Dr Geis: “The infinitely reusable bottle comes with three tablets that, once dissolved in hot water, create up to 300ml of cleansing shampoo. This is a refill. It cannot be used on its own. Before use, take your Avril refill bottle and add hot water up to the mark. Then add the 3 tablets. Leave the cap open and wait 12 hours. Close the cap and shake to mix. Your shampoo is ready to use!”
Regarding the sodium bicarbonate and the pH, they also have citric acid in there- does that make any sense?
-
Depends the pH established. This is pretty certain contamination. Tap water typically includes pseudomonads and the preservative system at its best/any pH is poor against it.. Wonder at hair feel if. any hardness

i dissolved one of these tables as they said “on 23/09”, the product is thick and slightly clear, until today everythig is ok th product still thick and slightly clear

Hi, if I were you, I would take into consideration @PhilGeis‘ comment (more so, I would ask Dr Geis for preservation advice- after I’d have put together a formula, preservative of choice included).
Also, “everything is ok” is a less-than-ok statement, as long as you didn’t perform any relevant tests- beginners and professionals alike know that most of the “nasties” can’t be seen with the naked eye.

hi, i understand what u wanna say, but the PH of this shampoo is 4.45 and i didn’t know why they used sodium bicarbonate, the preservative system isnt a big thing for me i can use another preservatives .
“everything is ok” means the product is stable there is no dephasing problems and it’s a mild shampoo i’m talking like a customer not as a chemist.

They may be using Sodium Bicarbonate to create effervescence with citric acid
