well i have made conditioner bar with 65% BTMS and so far it doesnt make my eye irritant. My advice you still need preservatives. i use liquid germall plus and put the conditioner in my bathbroom, it become wet and the mold grows after long time i dont use the conditioner so yeah you really need preservatives.

Hai actually i have a problem like you, even not exactly the same. I have separation issue when cocobetain is added at final step. So i use homogenizer for mixing cocobetaine with water phase then i add to surfactant phase, it can increase the viscosity too. I know its really hard to formulate shampoo with oil but right now i am trying to formulate a natural active ingredient called Apisclap (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (&) Apium
Graveolens (Celery) Seed Extract) at 3 % which is a big amount of oil. I havent use homogenizer in my shampoo formula with apiscalp so maybe i will tell you if i have a separation issue -

thank you, i really appreciate all of the input that given to me. I will learn more even i am a pharmacist but i am still new about this field. But @Perry if i have to cut the level below 1% then i won’t achieve the purpose of viscosicty and humectan of those ingredient, maybe i should change my formulation. Thank you

linseed mucilage and honey for moisture and nourish scalp. Basically i use linseed because it can ad viscosity to my shampoo and raw honey can act as humectan. I dont use any chemical ingredient except surfactan and preservative. So the formula contain linseed mucilage,honey,lemon, rice extract, essential oil and ingredient that i said before. Lemon juice i think it’s good for scalp and i use it so my shampoo become acid (ph 4,5).
I suspect linseed because i read in journal say ” A yet further potential benefit of linseed mucilage for topical application to the human or animal body is derived from the effect of proteolytic enzymes on the rheological properties of the mucilage. It has been found that the viscosity of a mucilage preparation is reduced as a function of time in the presence of proteolytic enzymes.” but i still dont have any idea. @ozgirl can you explain and if you can give me evidence that linseed are great food for bacteria? well i know linseed contain saccharide but it is gel and thick. -
thank you, i hope somebody can help me, i really need to solve this problem. And for additional information, viscosity of my shampoo decrease from 1000 cps to 850 cps, i dont know if this show the instability of linseed mucilage
