  Shampoo formulating problems.

  Posted by arhlene.lyons on November 16, 2024 at 7:16 pm

  Hi, im new to shampoo formulating and need help. I’m going round in circles. I’m trying unsuccessfully to formulate a shampoo for normal to dry (porous) long hair. My problem is that it feels really thick (probably too much Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride) and my fine hair still feels dry. I also have a Brazilian treatment and don’t want to affect that. If i reduce the Guar hydra… will my hair knot. Also I use PEG 12 Dimethicone - can I use Dimethicone instead? Can I add PQ 10 at 0,2%.

  Glycerine-5%

  Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium 0.6%

  Hydrolysed wheat protein 3%

  PEG 12 DIMETHICONE 3%

  Sodium Lauroyl sarcosinate 17%

  Decyl glucoside 11%

  CAPB 6%

  Preservative

  citric acid to adjust pH

  Water made up to 100%

  I mean my hair feels really thick. The shampoo thickness is perfect.
