This is not something which we can answer. When making a knockoff you have to simply take a guess and then make a sample. Rinse and repeat. One thing you can do, is to heat up a sample to ~80C and get all of the water to evaporate. You can then use the change in weight to get a rough estimate of the water content, which will give you a starting point.

What is this product? Cream or hair conditioner?

You will need to do your research, but that is a “formula” that made it’s way around some of the DIY blogs a few years ago. It is pretty widely copied.

If you want to figure out the amount of water you could do the following.
1. Weight a 100 g sample
2. Put the sample in an oven at about 50C
3. Monitor the mass until it stops getting lower.
4. The difference in mass between 100 and where it stops losing weight is the amount of moisture (water) in the product.You’ll have to guess at the rest.
