  • Will Zinc pyrithione precipitate or do creaming in this shampoo formula?

    Posted by Abdullah on July 19, 2023 at 8:08 am

    This is a simple shampoo formula

    SLES 9%

    CAPB 3%

    Water

    Thickened with nacl

    If i add 2% Zinc pyrithione in this formula without any suspending agent, will zinc pyrithine precipitate at the bottom or cream to the top of shampoo bottle?

    Do not use EDTA in a ZPT formula. It is not a matter of solution - it is no longer ZPT but the soluble sodium salt (PT) that will not deposi , not impact dandruff and will increase chemical risk due to PT solubility.

      Thank

      Any comments about my question?

      If it is not suspended, with it cream like dimethicone or precipitate like EGDS?

    Suspension and deposition are as important as the ZPT active. You might look ar some of the P&G patents and article by Jim Schwartz re coacervate technology
