What question do you have about the formula?
Have you made the formula? What were the results?
What do you want improved? Was the formula stable?Just at a glance, I think Panthenol at .75% is useless and unneeded.
I don’t see any benefit to including both Salicylic acid and Glyoxylic acid. One acid is fine.But really…what specifically are you asking about?

What is the pH?
You need an antifungal preservative too.

Hello, my question includes getting a hair straightening protein spray, the goal is to straighten the hair by 75% for curly hair, moisturize the hair and repair it.

Obtaining final review and approval before
starting implementation, based on the purpose of product formulationHave you made the formula? What were the results?
I will start preparing after the discussion
here, and I prefer thatWhat do you want improved? Was the formula stable?
The main objective of the product:
-Straightening the hair easily and without
damage to the scalp and exposure to heat for a long time-Use the product before ironing or blow-drying,
to avoid damage-Directing the product to the customer directly
without relying on the salon, or maintaining the hair after the session at home
for a longer lifeJust at a glance, I think Panthenol at .75% is useless and unneeded.
I don’t see any benefit to including both Salicylic acid and Glyoxylic acid. One acid is fine.PANTHENOL
Do I understand from your observation to
increase the percentage or dispense with it?SALICYLIC ACID
Its purpose is to protect hair from sunlight
Glyoxylic acid
Its purpose is to re-straighten the hair
But really…what specifically are you asking about?
Check the final formula before implementation
to achieve the desired goals of the producto:)

If you’re looking for a final review before embarking, here is my suggestion.
Get rid of most of your ingredients. Start simple and then add ingredients as necessary. Make this formula…
AQUAMono Propylene GlycolQUATERNIUM-80 or AMODIMETHICONE (you don’t need both)DISODIUM EDTADMDM HYDANTOINMethylparabenTest it. Then add ingredients to this formula as needed.
Panthenol is a claims ingredient. It does nothing noticeable if there are other ingredients like silicones present. Salicylic acid does not protect hair from sunlight in any noticeable way.
I do not believe Glycolic Acid will do much for straightening hair either. However, the suppliers make some claims about it so it might be worth testing a formula with and without Glycolic Acid to see if it actually does anything.
But overall, when you are starting a formulation project use FEWER ingredients for your first formula. Don’t start with a dozen ingredients because you will have no idea what ingredients are actually having an impact. Add ingredients to solve demonstrated problems. Don’t add them because you’ve been told they will have some effect.

I guess you are trying to reverse engineer OWOW spray. Panthenol, keratin, amodimethicone etc etc are there for marketing. The main component is glyoxylic acid. It’s marketed as ‘formaldehyde free’ but the only reason it’s working is that it releases formaldehyde when heated to 220/230 C. That is why it’s particularly important to use flat iron that heats up to that temperature (not all do). You need to research how much of it is needed for it to be effective and yet don’t cause hair to break. Once you establish that (and other important thing such as required ph) try to make the product with minimum number of ingredients (water, acid, preservatives, ph regulators). And when you are happy with the results add panthenol and alike for marketing at 0.001%

That’s what I hope for, thanks for the adviceI will start preparing accordingly, and I will keep you posted on the results
