Update:

I think it is not a separation problem! Bodywash is gradualy turning from white to transparent.

It is just changing from opaque to clear

How come i didn`t think about it before?

I was reading an article about some vegetable replacement for petroleum based products-it supposed to increase thermostability in anhydrous products an offers better skin feel-less tacky. I haven`t tried it so i can`t say much, but here is a link:

I hope it helps.

Essential oils are, if not used just as fragrances, usualy a part of anhydrous products-but that doesn`t mean you can`t make a cream or lotion with larger amounts of EO.  Since temperature is an issue-you could try with simple cream. Other things will probably melt,even if you try with higher MP waxes, temperature in a car or somebodys pocket can get very high…

Guys, you are awsome! So much info-the more the better.  

About pH…i assume that it has to be neutral so it doesn`t sting their eyes…like baby shampoo.

I could go lower, to be closer to natural pH of the skin thou… 

I tried combination of cocamydopropyl betain and decil glucoside. Other ingridient are some hydrolized oat protein and glycerin-for now. I am wondering if some detangling ingredients would be ok…but above all-that is preety simple recipe for mild pet shampoo, with only few ingredients to minimize allergic reactions and neutral pH. It has some proteins for shiny coat and a humectant for that skin that is underneath. I think i wont change it-maybe just add something for easier combing
