@Chemist77 about carbomer : an adequat level of carbomer can make also hair gel without flaking and with good holding.

[Fekher]

@shaujaat actually Cathon CG at 0,1% level can be good solution.

[Fekher]

@shaujaat actually formaldehyde is very toxic ingredient wich you should change to another preservative , even the level of use is too high must be 0,1 % as maximum reaching 0,05 %|.

[Fekher]

@Marysurnita even liquid can be mesured by kg you just use a balance to know the adequat weight or use the relation: mass = volumic mass * volume.

[Fekher]

@Marysurnita Actually i don’t see any hair relaxer it is sort of bad soap.

[Fekher]

@Romis A lot of corrections are needed as i see : Actually stearic acid make soap creamy and decrease the transperency of soap so for the transperency you need high soluble oil as coconut oil , you need also to reduce greasy % and to modify % of solvent respecting the following % in pic.
 for having solid soap you should use between 40% and 60% saturated oil better 50 % however  you have just  (18/48 saturated oil ) so i suppose to decrease the % of SLES and increase the % of saturated oil to have harder bar.
 About changing TEA to ethanol that prouves that you need to learn more about soap so TEA can be solvent right but it play also as Alkalin ” Neutralizer of oils” so if you change it by ethanol you must add an adequat amount of NaOh.
 wish that all is clear unless you are welcome for more explain.

@ngarayeva001 for slat better to use lower % but i will be obliged to use thickner something i try to did not .
decyl glycoside may  it  can be available .
TAS is between 10 and 11.

@Chemist77 thanks for you comment.

[Fekher]

@Chemist77 the % of polyquaternium is not random and i have  not access to polyquaternium 87(Luviquat sensation )  and i will not use dimethiconol so as you see for all this reasons polyquaternium 10 in 0,5 % will be the best choice.

For APG i have idea that they are mild surfactants but what about foam and cost compairing to dissoduim cocoamphildiacetate?

In my country suggar is too cheap but may it will not give effect in shampoo.

And for ph if i can not obtain final ph equal to 5 i will delete Salicylic Acid.

[Fekher]

@Romis write your Lol to have some suggetions or corrections.

[Fekher]

@Chemist77 thanks for sharing your intersting experiences and for viscosity effect i agree with you just i think that HEC can have better compatibility with more ingredients .

[Fekher]

@Perry i agree with you just i think that HEC have better sides  in stability versus slats .

[Fekher]

@nicotiro from best way to improve your conditionner add polyquaterniums they are too effective for that job you just need to choose best ones .

[Fekher]

@Perry @Chemist77 @Gunther did someone try to make gel with hydroxyethylcellulose?

[Fekher]

@mehrzadkia  may you need better  quality of salicylic acid , ”    smaller granulation powder” 

[Fekher]

@dharmaraj take a look for cellulose gum like HEC , HMEC , HPC i think that they are suitable for your needs.

[Fekher]

@ngarayeva001 actually i’am not talking about solvent i meant it when i said solublizer , solublizer is ingredient used to dissove other ingredient which is not soluble or has bad solubility in solvent i wish that difference between solublizer and solvent is clear  also solvent has important % in Lol however solubilizer has lower % .  “Almost problem of transperency return to bad solubility wich means our solvent is not good enough to dissove desired ingredient where the need of solubilizers”.

[Fekher]

did someone use hydroxyethylcellulose for making hair gel ?  and can it gives  better hair gel then carbomer one ?

[Fekher]

@AmitKaria not as much easy as you think almost ingredients can have solublizers i gave you a start for probable solution of  your problem if you want  you can make research and may you solve it unless you are free.
@ngarayeva001  something like that Peg 40 , polysorbates are solublizers for oils in aquatic solution so here is not the same we must know what are the type of aloe vera’s compositions ” i guess Aminic acids and sels”  and what are the adequat solubilzers of aloe vera’s compositions in water … wish that is clear.

[Fekher]

@ngarayeva001  @AmitKaria Actually what i see it is not problem of electrolyte resistance of ultrez because as it is clear that the obtained gel is viscous , the problem of transperency according to me can be solved by Aloe vera’s solubilizer that what i see and may we should make research about it ” as first impression i think aboul ethanol but to be more correct must know the Aloe vera ingredients and what can be theire adequat solublizers.

[Fekher]

@Chemist77 really intresting job and from my research even AMP will effect for flaking effect and for that effect it gives better resultats compairing to other neutralizers (TEA , NaOh, KOh…).
 Actually from researching i find out that there are a lot of fixatives hair agents other then pvp and most attractive ones for me are some polyquaternuim so have you an idea or experiences about polyquaternuim hair fixatives  and i wanna know theire stability with carbomer ? i did some research about that and i find that may some of polyquaternuim are stable with carbomer …

[Fekher]

@Dirtnap1 actually that type of product is really great , thanks for informing me by the new fixative for me “G-100PR polymer ” i will make some reseaech about it then see if i can make some experiences using it.
@Perry by searching such product in market i find this

[Fekher]

@Gunther thanks for your interesting ideas , i have idea about BTMS however i will make research about CETAC.
@Chemist i already make a hair gel-cream using oil at 10% level and i used also pvp and neutrelized carbomer so the professionels said to me that the fixation effect is good however i did not concentrate for smoothing effect , so do you think that including oil will decrease the solidification hair effect according to your experiences?

[Fekher]

@Perry actually i made a lot of hair products : butter , gel , wax , gel wax  and about pvp all theire types when hair drying give also solid hair “not smooth one” however i want have smooth effect in addition to fixation effect.

[Fekher]

@chemistgr1 For soap you can use TEA to have lower ph compairing to KOh and NaOh you can also increase to degree of greasing to have softer soap but increasing greasing will make liquid soap opaque , about foam you just need to use the adequat oils to give better foam no needs to have any other add.

[Fekher]

@BeardlyGentlemen actually i have no idea about them make your own research to know wich is better.
