    @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 .

    @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) .

    @Gunther thanks a lot for help i agree with you about the  importance of essence quality however in my country there are a low cost perfume (means 10 dollars for a litre ) that can be last more then 24 hours. So the aim is making such product wich is for me high quality with a low cost .

    @tinas  glycerol will need for sure emulsifier ‘surfactant’ to add in oil phase because it is hdrosoluble .

    You are welcome @ngarayeva001 you did not see that shea butter or coconut oil can be better solution ? where you can preserve good hardness with more creamy texture.

    October 26, 2019 at 8:12 am in reply to: Which Emulsifier?

    @julzc very strange what happened cause soap supposed to mix oil with water in other way make oil in water emulsion so normally soap has emulsifier ability . What i suspect that maybe your soap is very diluted and you add a lot of castor oil that cause the seperation but really i’am not convinced by that suspection.
    Maybe @Pharma has a justification?
