Polyglyceryl 4 laurate make spryable emulsion with even 0.3% xanthan gum. 

It is also cold process.

[Abdullah]

When you have surfactants in Shampoo, face wash, dishwash etc, they all have micelles.

[Abdullah]

@Pharma does reducing micelle size increase the stability of emulsion or decrease it? 

Will decreased micelles size mean we will need more emulsifier? 

[Abdullah]

@chemicalmatt @majibo thanks 

I will check them one by one and see which one is the problem. 

I thought it may be EDTA because i usually make a 20% EDTA solution and use that in products but now it solidifies too.

@Abdullah - I just see it getting a lot of positive comments in consumer discussion boards. I don’t personally think it is better than Dimethicone.

Thanks

@Abdullah If I’m reading correctly, what it shows is that each surfactant alone is only able to remove very few stains, while mixtures are better: the binary mixture SLES-APG removes more stains than SLES-LABSA…but there are some soils that are better removed by combining the 3 surfactants. Now, it’s a suppliers chart, so always be careful with those.

Yes. This chart is to show how effective APG is. But between SLES and LABSA, it shows SLES effective for much more stain types than LABSA.

This chart was not supposed to show how SLES effectiveness. 

[Abdullah]

@Perry can i ask why do you think amodimethicone would specially be seen as good for hair? 

[Abdullah]

Can you write your formula? 

2.5% citric acid will reduce the pH a lot lower.

[Abdullah]

You can just add gum+ water and adjust pH to 4.3 and see if it works at that pH.

[Abdullah]

Happy new year and thank you all for everything.

I found the easiest way…was to use GLDA.   

It is not available locally unfortunately

[Abdullah]

Do as Dr catherine said.

[Abdullah]

For what purpose?

[Abdullah]

I agree with Perry. 

Can tell what was the temperature, mixer type and mixing time in both small and big batches?

Use a liquid preblend of glycol distearate.

Thanks for the help.
will it be available in the market as cheap as solid..?
Can you please suggest me some other Ingredient for the same purpose.?

It will not be as cheap but it is much easier to work with. 

Titanium dioxide will work too.

[Abdullah]

Use a liquid preblend of glycol distearate.

[Abdullah]

It also has glyceryl oleate

[Abdullah]

They have structured body wash. 

Use surfactants that can make structured system. 
Every surfactant can’t make that.

[Abdullah]

What does your lotion already have? 

Maybe than is enough ????

Price and availability. The 90% stock is mainly for excipient in pharma,intermediate in specialty synthesis and is far more refined and expensive. Plus the C16/C18 works just fine. The exception is when used in stearyl alcohol/cyclomethicone antiperspirant stick systems. It is referred to as “Deodorant Grade” then when ordering.

A supplier is offering both 40% and 90% mono at the same price. Which one do you suggest should i purchase? 
40% or 90% mono? 

I am using it with cetearyl alcohol+SLS+ xanthan gum in lotions.

Answer: not much. CAPB contributes negative conditioning to hair by itself, but it does help to form coacervates with conditioning quats that do condition hair. Polyquaternium-7 comes to mind.

Thanks a lot

Yes you can use pq7 as foam booster

Yes , I did used 0.2% Pq 7. But on the next day foam is reduced. It’s not working well.
Can you suggest a different one.?

Pq7 has ~10% active so you need to use 2% to get 0.2% of it in Product.
