    Typically, a 1% EGMS level will give a nice pearl effect in a shampoo.

    How much is a matter of experimentation. Apparently GMS is used as a pearliser but I have not tried it yet.

    I am having tough time during making ng 80% ethanol gel as it consumes more carbopol and due to high prices it’s cost goes higher…

    They all have different purposes and abilities. Consult the manufacturer’s literature and review the sample formulations provided.

    940 is useless with anionic surfactants.

    which grade of carbopol is better, ultrez-20/21 is not available in our country.
    we have polygel-940/941/934.
    Does it have any other name (ultrez-21)?

    No!! LABSA is not recommended for personal care formulation.
    Try this commercial formula;

    1. Water balance to 100
    2. Glycerin   1
    3. SLES        14
    4. DEA          2
    5. BETAINE  1
    6. EDTA       0.2
    7. SALT       4
    8. Perfume & dye  qs

    glycerine!!! is it not water soluble?

    for the preservatives i use DMDM, but still need suggestions to increase the amount of preservatives or stick to only one?
    Methyle paraben is good but its slightly soluble in water and infer in the thickness of the liquid dish wash.

    one more thing the perfume that is essential oil (oil based) will drop the viscosity of the liquid, is it due to oily nature of the perfume that is merged to the oil attractive part of the surfactant and reduces its efficiency?
