They are the same

[Abdullah]

You mean those white things?

Can you explain your preparation method and pH!

Maybe you are not melting them properly before homogenization.

[Abdullah]

In my opinion the best option is a clarifying shampoo + a conditioner

[Abdullah]

And add 0.2% EDTA too

[Abdullah]

Thanks a lot

[Abdullah]

Reduce behenyl alcohol to 1%

[Abdullah]

Thanks.

I think there should be something else that citric acid do from a rinse of prod8.

[Abdullah]

Can i ask why are you not using specific fatty acids instead of a fresh and complete oil?

Many fatty acid types+ glycerin in a complete oil will reduce your foam and viscosity. That is my opinion.

[Abdullah]

Why are you avoiding sulphate?

[Abdullah]

No it will not and it will be difficult to thicken too.

[Abdullah]

To what degree c you heat them and what is the homogenization speed and batch size?

[Abdullah]

Does is just feel nice or increase the stability too?

[Abdullah]

In my experience LGN emulsions with cationic emulsifiers like BTMS or BTAC are very stable without any water phase stabilizer.

@chemicalmatt what do you think about cationic guar for this purpose?

[Abdullah]

Thanks

[Abdullah]

Thanks

I after using both shampoo a few times as shampoo and as face wash, i think shampoo A is milder than B as face wash and my hair also feels better with shampoo A.

As I don’t have tools to measure the mildness so i am asking you experts, is shampoo a also milder than B or it is just my thinking?

[Abdullah]

Thanks

Is it because of formalin or CMI MI in the formula?

[Abdullah]

@ketchito thanks a lot.

Do you have any data for citrate too that shows how it works at different pH for different metal ions like this one is for EDTA?

[Abdullah]

Thanks but does citrate have energy to make hard water completely soft from tap water?

[Abdullah]

@philgies Is that enough only for fungi if used with 0.5-1% phenoxyethanol in an emulsion, not shampoo?

[Abdullah]

Thanks

Do you know any patent with ≥1% citrate in shampoo?

Please share if you have

[Abdullah]

I also think that it will be for water softening but as it has EDTA and and 0.1-0.2% percentage of of it is enough to make the product water soft, what will be this high amount of citric acid doing.

It is highest after SLES.

[Abdullah]

I saw 1% citric acid in an example formula in one of their parents buy the patent was about something else.

I am wondering if it can be beneficial as a water softener and also to remove cation ions so if you apply a cationic surfactant conditioner after shampoo, it deposit more. What is your opinion on this?

[Abdullah]

Not experience on that

[Abdullah]

<div>Do you know the percentage of each ingredient in this blend? </div>

Instead of this you can buy phenoxyethanol and piroctone separately and mix them. This way it will cost much less.

I am doing this one

1% piroctone olamine

5% caprylhydroxamic acid

In phenoxyethanol

@ 1% use it has 100ppm PO and 500ppm CHA + 0.2% EDTA and pH below 5
