    I guess you can do it, almost liquid shampoo contains both cationic and anionic surfactants.

    May the add of polyquaternium and CAPB with reducing glucoside will give better product.

    The level of perfume is too high and can be the reason.

    why using two Preservative with total level 2% that seems soo fake.

    Then stearic acid with Triethanolamine give Triethanolamine stearate which is high hlb emulsifier.

    May you need cationic surfactant and yes you can use only CAPB and glycoside.

    With CAPB and glycoside as I guess you can reach a quite good product,sure for shampoo you need more ingredients for having a basic free sulfate shampoo so you have to work more for getting better results.

    What about reducing some Actives surfactants to have lower viscosity?

    Just try low dilution and watch the result.

    Thanks a lot for the interesting reference, actually I never ask about references before I make efforts and researchement however I did not find any interesting ones. In may case I did not use any water soluble thickener however I found the same curve of viscosity said in your reference however I predict that in one very high speed stiring the curve will decrease and we will have same curve with salt curve.

    Thanks a lot, actually I found some articles talk about the relation between viscosity(level of oil, temperature of emulsion) and but I did not found good one which matches between viscosity and stiring speed and viscosity.

    Just I watch that in hair gel when stiring is too high forgot how the day goes exact speed the viscosity of product decrease. For cream I watch that the viscosity of cream increase only, going from 0 tr/min to 2000 tr/min as string speed the emulsion started in 70 C.

    Any reference for the relation between the viscosity of emulsion and the speed /time of stiring it will be exciting.

    Yes it is Cetrimonium chloride, it was just manual stiring for five minutes.

    However today i found out new phenomenon that the time and the speed of stiring have a huge effect on the viscosity of emulsion so could you explain me more the phenomenon please?

    The level of cocoamide DEA is low near to 1% so I don’t go with your guess but maybe.

    That will be not the level of active surfactants but the level of surfactants and even it is the level of active it is higher then the required.
