    Polyacrylamide crosspolymer-6, Acrylates Copolymer,

    Carbopol ultrez 20, Xanthan gum, etc, they help with beads suspension.

    Why are you adding it to the shampoo? What active is in the product that you’re trying to prevent a pH drift?

    You can try adding PEG-150 DISTEARATE at 1.5%.although many chemists say it’s hard to formulate with, but it’s rather easy, adding it to a heat soluble surfactant like CAPB at 60°C would help dissolve it, mix other ingredients and stir slowly. It gives the kind of viscosity i like for shampoos.

  • Carbopol Aqua SF-1 is a good Thickener. Has back acid Thickening and suspending properties. Carbopol ultrez 21 is okay for emulsions or cream systems, but I dont like using it for surfactant systems.it has limited electrolyte tolerance.

    You should have an anti inflammatory ingredient in this formula, like Bisabolol at 1% or so. Add a superfatting material like Polysorbate 20. Increase pH with its conjugate base to about pH 4. It should stop the stinging and help.
