    Hello, im trying to prepare a shower gel based on sodium coco-sulfate (k30) and coco-glucoside as surfactants. Im using Sodium chloride and glutamate LT as thickener but im getting no effect. Does anyone knows the main reason why my shower gel is not thickening? Thanks!

    @Anna_Maria You need to add higher dosis of sodium chloride or glutamate LT. If you want to reach the peak of your salt curve sooner, add an opposite charged surfactant as well (amphoteric or soft cationic).
