How many time had you used it in two weeks?
What is the pH and how much phenoxyethanol is there?
It might be contaminated.

This conditioner doesn’t have cationic surfactant.
It only has silicone. And i add this cationic guar to help with wet combing.
It is much easier to make than an emulsion conditioner with cationic surfactant.

@Perry44 someone has commented in this post 2 hours ago but here shows tha last comment is in 2022. What is the problem and how can we see the latest comment?
-
I once added some EGDS in water and heated it to 80°c with mixing but it niver melted
-
Aren’t they the same as essential oil but with different extraction method?
-
What is the pH without naoh?
It should already be around 7
-
You don’t need to add preservative or BTMS
-
Increase SLES and decrease CAPB for foam
-
Are those amounts active surfactant percentage or actual product?
How much sorbic acid are you using? That may be the problem.
Can you use SLES?
-
Increase your guar gum or use xanthan gum
-
What is BAPD?
As mentioned by @ketchito that much BTAC would not feel good specially in straight hair.
Have you tested that how does it feel after like 10 use?
For my hair even 1% is heavy.
For stability I don’t think you would need another surfactant. Just BTAC and fatty alcohol is enough for LGN. And keep the ratio between 1:4-1-6?
-
SLS or sulfosuccinate but it depends on for what purpose are you using that second anionic surfactant.
-
I don’t have experience with such thing but a long time ago i once mixed i think pq10, EDTA and SLES and the color turned pink after a few minutes. I then made another batch with adding CAPB after pq10 and it had no problem.
So my suggestion is use some CAPB or a nonionic surfactant after your cationic thing and see if the problem is solved.

Alpha olefin sulfonate

They will not do anything for the purpose of itch relief.
-
Yes
-
Yes it is. I would use it at 0.5%. i would also add 0.4% allantoin and remove everything else other than preservative.
You should also first see what is causing th itch.

This new design looks more helpful than previous one. Just wanted to say that currently there isn’t any discussion in Sub Forums.
-
Use cationic guar first ingredient in water and mix
Reduce pH to 4-5 and mix
Viscosity should increase a bit
Then add CAPB and then other ingredients

The macro silicone emulsion i currently use has Amodimethicone (and) Cetrimonium Chloride (and) Trideceth-12. It has 30% 100k cps silicone and particle size is 0.35 μm.
The microemulsion i want to use is Amodimethicone (and) Trideceth-12. It has 25% 3k cps silicone and particle size is <0.1 μm.
I want to use this micro emulsion because it is clear and i thought it may be more stable maybe?
-
So you mean the issue is there but not very visible because i am using very small amount of silicone?
Can i ask what was the viscosity of that silicone and what was the particle size of emulsion?
-
Thanks
I will keep them in mind.
-
Why are you not using a thickener like HEC?
It would be much better for both viscosity and stability than adding another surfactant.
-
Does glutamates reduce the overall viscosity or shifts the salt curve to right?
How does viscosity decreasing compare to sulfosuccinate? Is it equal, less or more?
How does foam and cleaning power of glutamate and sarcosinate compare to sulfosuccinate as a secondary anionic surfactant?
-
Is there any difference in performance of the one for clear vs opaque system or just for appearance purpose?
