I’m doing a shampoo … more is separating water from the gel, which would be the solution to this not happen … my recipe:
80% water
10% decyl glucosideo

1% gom agar or xanthan
1% essential oil
1% glycolic extract
1% natural oil -

it sounds like the gum hasn’t been properly dispersed/hydrated
what’s your method of manufacture?
-
the recipe calls for mixing all the ingredients ….
-
yes, but which order have you mixed them in?
-
water, agar, Decyl, Cocamidopropyl, extract, natural oil and essential oil
-
Mix the agar / xanthan gum longer.
The oils may be separating too.

Agar and Xanthan are mixed usually in the warm water as first step, dispersing and with strong stirring energy. then other ingredients are added. Please specify better what essential oil and natural oil have you listed.
