About adding stabilizing effect for sure fatty alcohol and acids give more stability for cream product and even about texture not always true that they have bad effect with carbomer, actually the kaolin cream have lovely texture and for sure stearic acid made the emulsion more stable. -
@starlord13 as you said total active equal to level of use of surfactant * concentration
As example for N70 if the level of use is 10% then active surfactant is =70*0.1=7 -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorJuly 24, 2022 at 5:38 pm in reply to: Can sugar syrop and sorbitol be an alternative for PVP in hair styling gel?Awesome input @vitalys it seems that it has more then fixing agent as benefits just if you can recommend level of use because I just find that it is up to 18% wich is large interval.
Thanks a lot @Farah I will take a look just focusing on fixing effect I worked with very high viscous sugar syrop wich have remarkable superior fixing ability comparing to honey then no need to talk about economical difference.
