  This is ingredients list of an old Cetaphil cleanser

  Water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol,butyl, propyl,methyl parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol.

  It has ≤1% SLS.

  This is my formula

  Water

  Cetearyl alcohol 5%

  SLS 1%

  Citric acid 0.8%

  CMI MI 0.02%

  Formalin 0.02%

  Fragrance 0.01%

  pH 6

  Method

  .Add SLS to 45% hot water

  .add citric acid to reduce pH to 6

  . Add melted cetearyl alcohol

  . Homogenize for 5 minutes

  . Add 50% cold water while mixing to reduce temperature below 40c.

  .add preservatives and fragrance.

  My product is more white than Cetaphil product and i think i use more cetearyl alcohol and SLS than them but their product has higher viscosity than mine. Why their product has higher viscosity than mine?
