Hi, I have the same problem even with my sample batches being reduced only to ceteareth-20 at 29% and the rest 71% water, I tried reducing mixing speed to the minimum, what I get is only about half of batch clear.

Hello @crisbaysauli, thank you so much for taking time to read and answer my question, should I try to use PVP/PA instead of PVP or along with it?

Thanks David, but it is for protecting hair or the product itself?, if it’s the second case, is it posible for the product(the ones that I mentioned) to degrade that much from uv rays? I mean, in one year or so?

I’m sorry I forgot to put what kind of products; and it’s about, hair gels, or shine serums for hair, or shine sprays for hair.

@Bobzchemist, thank you very much, thanks also to @Belassi and @Chemist77 I tried your suggestion and it came out very good, I tried a oil soluble dye and it worked perfect.

You guys are awsome.

Thank you so much for taking time to answer Bobzchemist, Im using FD&C Red 4(CI 14700), in my research to small suppliers, they do not usually specify the nature of their colorants, or they are even ambiguous and to me it has been hard to understand the strict differentiation.

Since CI14700 is water soluble and not oil soluble, do you believe it is more suitable to use Red 17 (CI 26100)/Sudan III, wich is oil soluble, to get a cleaner aspect serum?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge, I’m an autodidact, and all I have is internet and some books. I do not have college education or acces to it, but I’m trying to get some grounds on formulating, and hopefully in the future a new career.

Thank you so much for your time, this forum has been of great help in my endeavour.
