    Adjust your percentages. They don’t equal 100ml or 150ml.

    These ingredients at these amounts work fine. Have you tried them?
    Was there any problem?

    The condensate was bound to happen inside a closed system heated by the sun and a little water exit post-freezing is not unusual. Add a little glycol either BG or PG and you may see that disappear.

    Will glycerin help with this situation?

    If you sell to stores, it would be good to communicate to the retailers well. Providing them with product knowledge, sufficient marketing materials, etc, would be useful in selling the products.  

    Although Currently we are more focusing in wholesalers. I will keep in mind that end customer is purchasing from retailers and they should have enough knowledge and support.
    Thanks ????

    An excellent book I’d suggest is Will It Fly by Pat Flynn.
    Another one is the $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau.
    Finally, Ready Fire Aim by Michael Masterson

    These two will help you figure out if you have an idea that is any good.  

    Thanks for the books. 
    From these 3 books, Which two will help figure out if we we have an idea that is any good? 

    Sure they can buy other things that solve the same problem but if they like you, they’ll buy from you.

    This is a good point. I will start campaigns in facebook just for the purpose of making people love our company.

    I believe most of startup want to start with online sale so public relation and communication is an important key.

    I bought seasonal gifts for my friends from 2 stores.
    The 2nd store is very attentive, they e-mail me to check if the order is right and everything. So I have better experience with the 2nd store.   

    Good point about after sale communication. ????????

    we sell to stores and our customers purchase from stores.They communicate with shopkeeper and we are not in direct communication with consumer.

    We will add the phone number on label the next time we were printing label’s so consumer would be able to directly communicate with us if necessary.

    I have experienced that the quality of our products change and improve very often. The product we make now has much better quality than same product from last year. If a customer has purchased our product last year and didn’t like it, they may like it if they purchase it now. But they won’t purchase what they didn’t like again because we know the quality has changed and improved but they dont know that. So it work better to after some time make another company by another name and sell our products in both although actual product is the same.

    This trick worked well for me.

    I think that was the reason for big companies like p&g that started many sub companies that sell the same product for example Shampoo.

    Over conditioning also makes your hair feel bad and in your formula i think it is cover conditioning. 
    As perry said start with

    %2 BTMS
    %2 cetyl alcohol or more for viscosity
    %1 dimethicone
    Fragrance
    Preservative
    And see how this fees
    Btw what viscosity dimethicone are you using?
