@GeorgeBenson I guess it is low quality product soo far from conventional level. -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 5, 2022 at 8:05 pm in reply to: Why some water float above product?Thanks a lot @Abdullah @Paprik @EVchem for your precious comments wich helped me to have better product by using ceteareth 25 and delating BTMS.
@Abdullah i’am using acrypol 996 as carbomer and I guess it has some tolerance with BTMS in low level because I made cream with both and it seems pretty stable. -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 4, 2022 at 8:01 pm in reply to: emulsifying waxes???@natiyo123 as short answer the main difference in hlb value and even in the final texture try to Google it, it is easy to get more details.

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 4, 2022 at 7:46 pm in reply to: Why some water float above product?@Abdullah my colleague taked it from professional site, I guess it is not exactly the formulation.
It was BTMS 25
No I did not make version without GMS and carbomer
My plan is to change BTMS with ceteareth 25 I guess it will solve stability problem.
Carbomer add a lot for the product so I will try to keep it as much as possible ( If I work only with BTMS Wich has high hlb I guess the hlb of BTMS will be far from needed hlb=10 not?) and for sure with only BTMS I will not reach the good texture get it by using carbomer.

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 3, 2022 at 8:26 pm in reply to: Why some water float above product?@Paprik actually I know about hlb o/w, w/o emulsion even I know that anionic aren’t compatible with anionic just forgot that neutralised CARBOMER is anionic, however I don’t know scientific information that says kaolin will not be stable with w/o as you said.

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 3, 2022 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Why some water float above product?@Paprik preservative is methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone. Why using w/o emulsion destabilizes my formula?

Professional Chemist / FormulatorNovember 3, 2022 at 5:41 pm in reply to: Why some water float above product?@Paprik nice explanation however when I used only GMS with CARBOMER I have the same problem.(supposed their is no stability issue for no ionic with anionic not?)
@Perry what details you need to give better advice?
@Abdullah I fill the product both in room temperature and in higher.
Yes BTMS 25
The origin formulation contains GMS and CARBOMER may be increasing their level better then using only BTMS. -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorOctober 28, 2022 at 5:12 am in reply to: Which conditioning agent cope with xanthan gum@Abdullah mild is more general than less drying so I guess it is impossible to make free tear shampoo with only CAPB and SLES. About MPG it is for dissolving easier and faster xanthan gum then it is for reducing drying effect.
