    I am a new formulator myself and trying to learn from this forum.

    Here’s something I put together; please correct me if wrong.

    Distilled water: 85.2%

    Denat Alcohol (Organic solvent): 6%

    Propylene Glycol (VOC content): 6%

    Solids content: 5.8%

    —————————-

    Magnesium Sulphate or Epsom Salt

    Isoceteth-20: Propylene Glycol ether and is a mild emulsifier, emollient and surfactant.

    Citric Acid: to adjust the pH, probably.

    PVP: petroleum derivate; forms a film on hair to hold up the shape.(toxic material)

    Sorbitol: adding elasticity to the hair, increasing its tensile strength and also prevents your hair care products from drying out.)

    Sodium Benzoate: powerful preservative

    Diazolidinyl Urea: conditions hair

    Fragrance / Parfum


    Percentages given above are as per SDS, also pH = 3

    All %s are adding up to be 103%?

    Which % is extra here?

    Solids content, we can adjust by hit and trial, by making small batches and testing out as @fareloz said.
