    @Padmavathi you supposed to tell clients wich better so you can tell them that with  lower level of glycerin product will be better .

    @Padmavathi  I think that 15% of glycerin is too high level and almost reduce the viscosity of product try to reduce it.

    @Perry  you have right and i guess that ingredients are most important factor for bubble retention.

    @Quimico  what is glyceryl ? as i see all ingredients are hydrosoluble so there is no reason for seperation .

    @Perry actually as conclusion the lowest speed needs just more time in process without reducing time of bubbles,however may viscosity have real effect for bubbles stability because my lower viscosity products needs less time for having no bubbles product.

    @GabyD maybe a thickener will help for your emulsion stability even in warm condition.

    @Perry actually i made liquid soap with the slowest speed in mixer, so i will tell you how your idea does with bubble problem (Just as instant observation the product with slowest speed mixing has more transperency then usual process just at the end of mixing.)

    I have not really idea for the precise amount to reduce so you should work on it , but as start point try in total 10 % (glycerin and CAPB) and as you said it seems good idea to increase the level of CSI and SCS.

    In your case @MangoMonster Cetearth-25 can do the job without Steareth-20/21.

    @Perry thanks for reply, i’am sure that slow down mixing will reduce bubble however process (mixing) will take longer time to have liquid soap also i hope understanding why LABSA need Just 1day with same mixing speed ?
    @crillz appriciate your answer.

    @MangoMonster i think that it Will be more easy and lower cost when you buy it. However if you Just want to make it make some reaserachement about that.

    @LuisJavier i think from 10 % to 50 % will be good if you have not problem to intrduce more water 10 % will be better cause the amount of NaOH will be more precise .

    January 7, 2020 at 8:06 pm in reply to: How to reduce viscosity of this detergent liquid?

    @RedPill a lot of options can be done so i think the easiest as @Perry said adding NaCl  but also adding AOS or by playing in pH you can do it . I think that  the best way is taking one kilograms of your product add gram by gram NaCl untill you reach the desired viscosity , then you will find the best level of NaCl  for you product , finally do correction to your batch refering to sample correction.

    @Cafe33  So neutralizing 1.00g of Carbopol with 4.50 g of l-Arginine… Is that what the neutralization ratio means? 
    actually  yes  just becarfull of the concentration of initial product , so returning to table you will find NaoH has 18 % concentration same for KoH , TEA 99 % , Tris amino  40 % so if concentration change you should make the adequat  amount knowing c1*m1 =  c2*m2   wich gives m2= m1 * (c1/c2) .
