Titanium dioxide vs Glycol distearate for pearl shampoo
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using titanium dioxide instead of Glycol distearate in shampoo for pearling?
How much titanium dioxide would have same pearl effect as %1 Glycol distearate?
Shampoo is 10:1 SLES: CAPB with %0.3 polyquaternium 10.

@Abdullah TiO2 will not contribute any pearlescence, it is mica treated TiO2 that pearls. Good news: you don’t need to use much - 0.20% is plenty. Bad news: you’ll need to have a suspending agent in there to keep it in place. Polyquaternium 10 may be able to contribute just enough yield vale to do the job.

@chemicalmatt do EGMS and EGGS also need suspending agent?
Do HPMC and cationic guar also work as suspending agent?
