  Viscosity lose from amodimethicone micro emulsion

  Posted by Abdullah on December 27, 2024 at 10:12 pm

  To make a some how economy shampoo with active <div>

  3% SLS

  7% SLES

  1.5% CAPB

  0.2% cationic guar

  0.5% amodimethicone in micro emulsion

  NACL

  i have viscosity problem.

  Without amodimethicone micro emulsion it has enough viscosity with 1% NACL but with amodimethicone micro emulsion viscosity is not enough even up to 3% NACL.

  Micro emulsion is amodimethicone % trideceth-12.

  What options do i have to increase viscosity or prevent viscosity drop without increasing total surfactants?

  </div>

  The emulsifier in your silicone microemulsion might be causing a rearrangement of your micellar system. You can use a rheology modifier to counteract this effect.

    Thanks

    Is there any method of adding this silicone emulsion to prevent this interaction ?

    By ”rheology modifier” you mean thickeners like hpmc, xanthan etc or cocamide MEA?
