W/Si leave in conditioner
Hi Everyone!
I am working on leave in conditioner. It is possible that I
am trying to create an impossible product, so please let me know if this is the
case, because I couldn’t find a commercial product with these combination of
ingredients.The idea is w/si emulsion with 20% of dimethicone and
cationic polymers in the water phase.This is what I came up with:
INCI
%
Aqua
56.00%
Germaben II
1.00%
Amodimethicone (trideceth-12 and cetrimonium chloride)
4.00%
Polyquat 10
1.00%
PG
3.00%
Magnesium Sulfate
1.00%
Cyclopentasiloxane
10.00%
Dimethicone 1000
20.00%
Abil Em 90 (Cetyl PEG / PPG-10/1 Dimethicone)
2.50%
Isolan GPS
1.50%
Cold process, water added by drops at 200-300 RPMs (my
overhead stirrer isn’t precise) and then homogenised (Yes, with a stick
blender. The materials mentioned above work fine with a stick blender when
there is nothing else but salts and humectants in the water phase).It didn’t emulsify properly and I saw first signs of
separation next morning. It’s extremely
thick and the texture is uneven. I wonder if this is because of thickening
properties of polyquat 10.My logic is, Abil EM 90 is non-ionic. I couldn’t find
anything about Isolan GPS to be honest, but I think it should be non-ionic too.
So, in theory should work.Any input is appreciated.
