  Varisoft EQ 65

  Posted by bigziom on July 3, 2019 at 9:21 am

  Hello,

  I plan do buy varisoft EQ 65 (Distearoylethyl Dimonium Chloride and Cetearyl Alcohol) to make liquid conditioner but there are some other options to explore so i have some questions so any help would be highly appreciated.
  

  From what i read the pH of a final product should be around 4 or varisoft may hydrolize. If i would like to make a syndet hair bar then should I also adjust ph to 4?
  

  And second question - there are products called solid conditioners - basically an anhydrous product, a mixture of waxes, butters, oils and conditioning agents. Is it possible to use varisoft in such product and would there be any problem with its stability?
  

  
  

  Thanks!

  @bigziom:

  I suspect that you could indeed use Varisoft EQ65 to make a solid bar conditioner as a direct substitution for BTMS, for instance.
