another option would be acrylates copolymer that might be good but that would be from a new different supplier that i dont know and in indonesia i always prefer to stick with suppliers i already know. but if you say it is much better than the hydroxyethyl cellulose then i will give it a try

my idea was too add hydroxyethyl cellulose as a thickener since our the supplier has this and does not have guar gum

hi, we tried some slight variations and the feel and foam is very nice but then the viscocity decreases over time, after a few weeks it gets a bit watery. I was thinking we need to add a thickener or continue to improve the recipe to make it work but adding a thickener seems like the safest bet to make sure it last good in the long run. I live in Bali and its very hot here + a lot of outdoor bathrooms with the sun shining on bottles, affecting the shampoo as well. our previous recipe was natural with xantham gum as a thickener. The shampoo was a lot less nice but stable over time. xantham gum does not match with poly-7 i read so would change it with something else now.
Thank you for all your help and if you ever come to bali let me know 🙂

Ok, thanks so much for your clear explanation. I will do half of the glycerin and decyl then and see the effect.

Thanks I will try, will do 100sls and make one without the oils. Doesn’t decyl glucoside and glycerin make it more thick as well? Would you completely keep those out of the recipe or replace with more of other ingredients?
