@chemicalmatt interestingly even ALS when combined with CAPB is milder than SLES.
-
it is completely fine at low pH even with AHA pH <4.
-
There are patents that show they have niacinamide at pH 4 and below. You can check them.
-
As @em88 said foldable label looks good.
You can also use two or more labels on bottom or side of jar with a hint to show the consumer that there are more labels if they want to read. -
-
this data from another supplier shows zein value of CAPB is 100. does it mean that Galfusion mild blend it 10 times milder than CAPB in zein value? -
The product itself also has 80% water if it needs it
-
@Pharma shampoo and body wash
-
@Pharma which type of emulsion is better? Micelle or inverse micelle?
-
@Perry at target the photo is low quality and the text in back of bottle is not readable in most of products.
Ultra and Sephora don’t show the back of the bottle. -
@Pharma that is good.
Some more questions ????
1. If we pass the salt curve and extra salt decrease the viscosity, does it mean it is reducing the micelle size?
2. If we add salt to surfactant system with some decyl Glucoside and the salt doesn’t increase the viscosity, does it mean the salt isn’t increasing the micelle size in this system or it is increasing the micelle size but not viscosity?
For example, SLES, CAPB, decyl Glucoside at 10/1/2 active surfactant, salt doesn’t increase the viscosity. Does it mean it doesn’t increase the micelle size?
3. Does increasing the micelle size reduce the irritation of shampoo or increase it?

@jemolian yeah like this one
Thanks a lot
-
@PhilGeis thanks
-
@jemolian thanks. I would search for it
-
-
@chemicalmatt Bigger with SLS and richer with SLES or bigger with SLES and richer with SLS?
-
@Quimico thanks
what is stpp doing and what should be the final pH? -
@PhilGeis thanks.
Any idea why this formula doesn’t clean oil soil very well from clothes?
-
What do you mean by weird, bouncy, cottage cheese type texture? Can you show a picture
Also as @Microformulationsaid, chelating agent is very important, especially with this preservative and this pH.
Ask your client what they want. If they want you to just mix some specific ingredients and don’t care about the result then you should not care too. Just mix whatever they want and give them.
If they want a safe and stable product then tell then chelating agent is necessary. If they don’t like one then use another oneFor instability, if oil is separating then increase or change your emulsifier. If water separating then increase the viscosity of water phase.

@PhilGeis pH is 11.
Currently it is for own use because it doesn’t have good enough quality to sell it????.Can i ask why cant sell it in US?
-
@Pharma thanks a lot for comments and link.
Just one more question ????
Does salt (sodium chloride or ammonium chloride) increase the micelle size or decrease it?
-
@Pharma thanks ????
Some more questions.1. In a flat jar a solution would have more water/air interface than the same amount in a thin bottle. Does it mean they need different amount for surfactant to saturate the water/air interface and so different CMC?
2. Why CMC is utterly useless in most everyday situations, especially in complex surfactant blends?
3. Does added salt effect micelle size or the number of molecules within a micelle? If yes how and what it does?
4. What factors (adding or removing some ingredients or special process) effect micelle size and the number of molecules within a micelle?
-
Do you know why are you using these ingredients and how much should each of them be used?
-
Can you list all the ingredients with percentage!

@PhilGeis thanks
