@Syl thanks a lot.
Of course i will check each ingredient but any idea which one to check first?
I think decyl Glucoside, fragrance and xanthan gum would be the cause.
-
@Perry thanks
What percentage of methyl Paraben with it?A quick search in Google, vo5 is the only shampoo that is using DMDM hydantoin alone.
-
@PhilGeis what percentage?
-
Agree with Syl and Graillotion.
Also i mix x gum with phenoxyethanol and add to shampoo and mix with oil phase and add to lotion and they work perfectly fine. -
Are you selling raw materials?
If yes you can prepare COA and SDS or change the name of company that you have received it from and write your company name and give it to them.If you are selling finished product you don’t need to give any information other than the name of ingredients in your product.

I don’t know the reasons but the only humectants that can satisfy you is lactic acid and glycerin. Others only work on paper at least for me.

1. Xanthan gum is synergy with everything but i like its synergy with acacia gum the most.
2. I haven’t used carbomer but have used many gums and celluloses. I have concluded for myself that xanthan gum is a must. No other gum can replace it for stability but blending them with xanthan gum can enhances it’s characteristics.
3. I think no if you reduce the xanthan gum. Yes if you add it on top of xanthan gum.
6. I would use no less than 0.3% xanthan gum and 0.2% or 0.3 % s gum although i prefer acacia gum. -

@PhilGeis thanks

@SugarHouse thanks

@Perry 0.2% DMDM hydantoin alone or with another preservative?
-
@MarkBroussard thanks
Interestingly when i use glyceryl Caprylate in shampoo it increases the viscosity dramatically.I will try this blend and see what happens
-
@MarkBroussard thanks
I currently use 0.9% phenoxyethanol +0.1% caprylyl Glycol +0.2% EDTA in shampoo. The only problem is that it reduces the viscosity.
What percentage of active DMDM hydantoin in combination with what preservative do you recommend?I have phenoxyethanol, caprylyl Glycol, glyceryl Caprylate, caprylhydroxamic acid and Piroctone Olamine.
-
@SugarHouse interestingly i was allergic to this blend of benzyl alcohol and DHA.
At what % were you using sodium benzoate and what pH?
Do you have any data that people are allergic to it or just your observation? -
@Perry thanks
@Paprik i got your point at first ????@@MarkBroussard consumers here here don’t care about the ingredients list. Companies here use formalin. -
@PhilGeis 6000 ppm active preservative is the upper limit correct?
-
@Paprik thanks
This data shows they are safe -
Good
Thank you all -
@Pharma thanks a lot
-
Polyglyceryl 4 Laurate is cold processable and creates water thin emulsion
-
@jemolian thanks a lot
in this link says “lauric acid is strongly antibacterial, and works better than benzoyl peroxide against Propionibacterium acnes bacteria.” is this true?
-
@MattTheChemist they free the oleic acid and cause dandruff. Not sure about others.
-
Pharma said:No, it’s chemically bound glycerol and does not act like free glycerol. Neither do the fatty acids which make up the other part of triglycerides.
@@Pharma that is interesting.
So in theory, applying which one is better on skin? A vegetable oil like coconut oil or a blend of free fatty acids at same ratio as coconut oil?
-
@Cafe33 thanks a lot.
Yeah the only part that my retailers suggest us is to improve the packaging and design too. -
People don’t care if it is SLS or sarcosinate. Look what does the shampoo that most people use have. SLS.
This mean most people don’t care about SLS.
