    Hi Keren! pH of the formula? And maybe acidity of the mixture? I usually go with xanthan gum at acidic media.

    @ngarayeva001, texture and fragrance are the first things ladies notice. All these textures have upon the hair the same effect. Yes I use cetrimonium chloride and also behentrimonium chloride. I strongly think that this peculiar texture is due to a component omitted from the ingredient list, because the ingredients these benchmarks have in their labels can lead easily to a very quick knock-out. But the reproduction of the texture is however elusive.

    @chemicalmatt. Thank you for your comment. I definitely agree with you, however ladies tend to believe that a slimy texture is due to high end components. Yes Croda have put a finger in it for sure. Keravis PE for example is all over in these products. The funny thing is that i started another set of experimentation with cmc (!!!) and I probably matched it, but the first freeze/ thaw cycles are kind of dissapointing. However, the benchmark failed these cycles also.
