    But I have seen many formulations with Carbomer and Gums which have a similar use case and formultion claims. How do they manage droplet sizes?

    This is all great insight, thanks a lot.
    I am planning to shift to euxyl PE 9010 (PE+EHG) at 1% while changing carbopol to ultrez 21 at 1% as it offers higher clarity and viscosity build. Any thoughts on that.

    Aqua SF-1 will not hold up with all the cationics. It will not allow coacervation of the PQ-10, which is the “deposit” you are seeking. I suspect HP guar is interfering there too. The problem using acrylate copolymers in conditioning shampoos is they act as anti-redeposition agents: not a good thing, right? They work great for suspension and viscosity build, but that is about it. 
    Why not get rid of SF-1 & guar and build viscosity the traditional way? Increase the PQ-10 to >0.50% while you are at it.  DEL the amodimethicone & CETAC & Trideceth-12 blend too. That is designed solely for conditioning and styling products, not shampoos. 

    What is the traditional way that you are referring to here?
