Thanks a lot
-
Reduce behenyl alcohol to 1%
-
Thanks.
I think there should be something else that citric acid do from a rinse of prod8.
-
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.
-
Why are you avoiding sulphate?
-
With AOS and CAPB you can use NACL to increase viscosity.
-
@ketchito this formula has Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine instead of CAPB. So would coacervates form in such formula?
-
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?
-
Thanks
Is it because of formalin or CMI MI in the formula?
-
@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?
-
Thanks but does citrate have energy to make hard water completely soft from tap water?
-
@philgies Is that enough only for fungi if used with 0.5-1% phenoxyethanol in an emulsion, not shampoo?
-
Thanks
Do you know any patent with ≥1% citrate in shampoo?
Please share if you have
-
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.
-
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?
-
Not experience on that
-
<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

Look for the source that who is telling you. If it is a chemist whose profession is making and testing a lot of products, then you can trust that he knows something. If it is from a YouTuber or shopkeeper then be sure they are not chemists, they haven’t made or tested any product.
-
If you can reduce pH to 4.5 or below, SB will work very well and it is inexpensive too.
IPBC is not very water soluble so dont forget to dissolve in first
-
You should have 0.1% in acid form and at pH 4.9 only 16% is in acid form. With 0.2% you will only have 0.03% preservative.
-
What is your pH?
Sodium benzoate is my most favorite anti fungal but i only make emulsions at pH 4-4.5.
I would increase it to 0.5% because it is inexpensive and very pH sensitive
-
Charge density not but viscosity is lower. or maybe because it is not hydrating properly or completely, that’s why viscosity is lower.
I think cationic guar is not hydrating properly. Why? This I don’t know.
Surprisingly on sample batch with this method is stable yet.
1%AMD micro emulsion mixed with 8%NACL 20% solution and 12% water, cationic guar 0.2%, lactic acid 0.05% ,20min mix, CAPB, EDTA, SLES.
14:2 SLES: CAPB active surfactants.
When i made another batch the same method it precipitated.
Any thoughts on why this one batch may have been stable?
