    Nacl or Crothix works best in my shampoo!

    Just be careful you don’t hurt yourself with your products or ingredients.

    klangridge said:

    You have fairly low surfactant levels in this formula -  a normal shampoo tends to have around 12% surfactant overall, which will produce more foam and also the more stable foam you are used to.

    I would suggest that an increase in viscosity will aid foam stability, as a thicker bubble wall will be stronger - are you able to introduce another thickener other than salt thickening, and perhaps increase guar level slightly as a foam booster? You may also consider different grades of guar as some are more effective at boosting foam than others - your supplier should be able to help with some suggestions.

    Guar increases foam especially in 2 in 1 !

    @1Armand2 I believe @Abdullah‘s comment was if Phenoxyethanol as sole preservative was enough. Phenoxyethanol lacks activity against mold and yeast, and that’s why it’s usually paired with organic acids. 

    Correct!

    Is 0.6% phenoxyethanol enough as preservative?

    Yes, there is no good reason to homogenize SLS/SLES

    Abdullah said:

    What is the batch size you make? 

    If less than 10kg then a stick blender will work too. 

    If more than 100kg then you will need inline homogenizer. 

    If you introduced foam, keep the viscosity low and foam will disappear in 10 minutes.

    Thank you!

    SLES supplied at 70% concentration or 70% in the final formula? Heat will be your friend more than homogenization, and if you do homogenize you will need vaccuum or centrifuge to remove air.

    Thank you!

    CedarS said:

    Yes, we did. You have to be careful adding it, as it will lump up badly. Then just mix slow and steady until it’s all in. We didn’t try to homogenize, worrying over foaming. 

    Thank you!
    also what do you use for mixing or stirring?

    CedarS said:

    If you decide to go with the 70%, it is not easy to get into solution. Plan on it taking at least 5 hours in production, and yes, foam will be a problem. 

    In 5 hours production, you just mix it just like the 27% sles?

    @1Armand2 Adding some simple silicone (like Dimethicone) would help on that.
