    @Kunal heating is not needed at all for your system just you need high speed stiring to dissolve it quickly, heating will help to dissolve quickly SLES, So adequat stiring will make no sense of heating.

    @Zara I guess all : glycerin in high level, with thym extract and rosemary leaf oil can be very creative preservation system if it works.

    @Tyss just a guess that soap did not dissolved well in cold process then it needs more time to dissolve then high speed stiring to give thicking effect.

    @MurtazaHakim the rule is needed TEA equal 1,5 carbomer(in massic level) to neurtalize it and get pH =7 [ the amount can be less or more depends on desired ph] , however for your system which have more then 60 % Ethanol you will need as neutralizer AMP or other neutralizer that can work for your level of alcohol .

    @letsalcido Old fashioned oils and lye soap have a basic pH that will open hair’s follicle and give a significant volumizing effect but sure will make hair Rough.

    @Michelle76 Even SLES have natural origin in other side even for having coco glucoside it should pass to in industrial process… 
    So SLES is really good alternative for such product

    @Mariaz  I guess you should add neutralizer for your LOL for the Carbomer

    @SPMX first of all it is a cream not hair gel because it contains oils, then for styling hair the formulation should have styling agent which is as I guess absent in your formulation

    May 21, 2020 at 9:45 am in reply to: 80% ethanol based gel making

    Supposed to have not gel with 80% and using TEA as neutralizer, I guess your alcohol degree is wrong unless you will not have gel with 80% ethanol. 
    For better results try AMP in place of TEA.
