    @chemicalmatt @ketchito actually the inci as I said:(Cyclopentasiloxane - Keratin Amino Acids) so it is not water based keratin then I worked 15 kg with level up to 2% of this keratin getting crystal clear product so if it is the cause of turbidity why reaching the 2% for first Batch I did not have any issue. 
      Update to all, today I verified the lot of other silicones and unfortunately they have the same lot then I made a batch of 500 grams getting not clear product moving to 100 grams batch I got crystal clear product. I’am thinking according to what I saw that it is related to report (exchange surface /volume)  (Note : I mixed the 100 grams and 500 grams in same reactor)

    @Paprik how stearic acid is anionic?  Actually it is fatty acid with carboxylic acid function without negative charge.

    @Perry so according to you finding the adequate energy of mixing will solve the problem?  Actually tried mixing with different energy and that did not improve at all the transparency 

    @ketchito actually it was manuel mixing with very low speed so I supposed temperature is the room temperature.
    my ingredients are : brb1834, brb dm 350,brb cm 50,AC KERAIN AMINO ACIDS SIL (inci:Cyclopentasiloxane - Keratin Amino Acids), perfume

    @SunilHiwarkat1965 thanks for your precious share just why using all that ingredients to solve the problem, c12_15 alone was not enough or for more efficiency?

    @evchem2
     1)I eliminated the mixing reason because for the first purchase when I made 100 grams then 1 kg of product then I moved to 20 kg there was no issue in manuel mixing   so if we supposed that the transparency problem was from different mix energy why I did not face that issue in the first purchase? 
    2)I had the same reflection about raw material variation and I think that is the real reason I verified the keratin and it is the same lot however I did not verify other ingredients and thanks for awesome share about pump and syringe
    3)formula as I said contains: brb1834, brb dm 350,brb cm 50,
    AC KERAIN AMINO ACIDS SIL (inci:Cyclopentasiloxane - Keratin Amino Acids),perfume.

    @Abdullah room temperature in same time by manuel mixing with same tool.
    @Pharma about acid amino keratin it is another strange phenomenon for the first purchase I worked the formulation with more then 1% level without any issues however in the second purchase even with 0.2% serum loose transparency same thing about the level of perfume I needed to decrease the first level for maintaining the transparency.

    @Pharma it is not optical ‘illusion actually I put the product in same packaging to jude the transparency and is not the same for sure. C12_15 was suggested by @chemicalmatt for solving transperncy problem when adding perfume in silicone serum, so I made a try for my product and it did lovely job for small batch.

    @Riyas it is logic to have low foam with such formulation just increase the level of SLES and it will be fine.

    @fotis83 actually there are a lot of qualities of SLES then for sure you can find safe one.

    @fotis83 I guess SLES because price / quality  compromise.

    @Abdullah thanks, however don’t you think that less then 1% active surfactant is too weak for removing make up?!

    November 10, 2022 at 7:21 pm in reply to: Does NACL do any benefit in liquid laundry detergent?

    @Abdullah the general idea is what @ketchito said about your system is not too sensitive to salt but what I suggest is to add some CAPB and CDEA then delating glucoside. 5%  of slat is too much I suggest to start with 0.5% with path 0.1%.

    Always together brother???? @Abdullah  actually they are more then thickener both are used as anti-redeposition agents and they have more then that function in detergent. 
      @GeorgeBenson I guess it is low quality product soo far from conventional level.
