@ketchito, final ph is 5.8. I use a preservative system based on phenoxyethanol, benzoic acid and dehydroacetic acid. Sodium chloride is present around 0,1%.
Surfactants are: ammonium lauryl sulfate, Coco glucoside and cocamidopropylbetaine. Beads a…
The prototype is ok and it is in stability.
I have used almond oil, jojoba oil and emollients like coco caprylate.
I have preserved the emulsion with phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin.
Formulation that lost viscosity contains 1% euxyl pe 9010 as preservative system.koko test is passed. Ethylhexylglycerin can influence viscosity after a long time of storage?
I realized organic certified face cream with 7-8% of Organic Aloe vera gel and result is good.in.this case there aren' t polymers or carbomers because they aren' allowed by standard
In the past I realized an Aloe vera dermogel and I use mix of xanthan gum and sclerotium gum to reach a desidere viscosity because Aristoflex Avc didn't thicken the system.i agree with you.I had the same.experience.
But when I realized face cream wi…
thanks. for some years I use aloe gel in emulsions where there are both traditional emulsifiers and polymers (in my case Aristoflex avc) and I have not had any problems.
lately, however, in some prototypes I have seen some drops in system viscosity …
thanks for your advice. for a few years I'm formulating without the traditional ingredients (peg, parabens, ethoxylates, silicones) and I'm trying to better understand stability and long-term behavior. can use xanthan gum increasing quantity of emul…
Not even very small amount of aloe? I have already formulated PEG free emulsions in the past with Aristoflex Avc and Aloe but I haven' t noticed variations.
Theregore this lods of viscosity can be considered normal?
We have formulated opaque shaower gel with polymers without SLES and PEG but afetr some times (1 month) the opacifying precipitates.Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for you for your valuable advices.
Surfactant base of my shower gel includes 'ammonium lauryl sulfate' as primary surfactant.
Could it be a interaction between primary surfactant and preservative (phenoxyethanol, dehydroacetic acid and benzoi…
Thanks Perry, I read the very interesting link related stabilty protocols.Therefore, of each prototype I take 3 samples and place one at 40C, one at RT and one at 4C.Keep then for 3 months monitoring every 2 weeks.Is correct?
And thermal cycles how …
