@Squinny thank you for responding i am trying to make a wash out conditionner that has detangling properties

[Glodie]

[Glodie]

@Perry my question is to know if my formula is ok based on % i want to use
,yes i came up with the formula,i have not tested because the ingredients are quite expensive here in south africa so i dont want to buy something that i wont need thank u

1% is excessive 9010 or Germall +.  Suggest not much > 5000 ppm.   And do add a chealtor - esp. EDTA.
Germall + is conceptually a better choice as it targets Gram +/- bacteria and fungi while 9010 targets primarily Gram neg bacteria.  However, Gram neg bacteria are the most common contaminants for conditioner products.

@@PhilGeis thank you

hi all i need help with my formula and have a chemist input on my conditionner, would like to have ask about the best preservative i can use since i am using flaxeed gel, and are these percentage okay to use

water phase
flaxeed boiled in distilled water        76.5%
CETAC  30%                                       5%
honeyquat. or glycerine                      3%
guar hydroxypropyltrimonium.          0.5%

oil phase

coconut oil.           6%
btms25                 4% can i use btms85???
cetyl alcohol.         2%
 
cool down
panthenol.                                                     1%

euxyl pe9010 0r liquid germal plus ?????        1%
vitamin E                                                        0.5%
fragrance.                                                     0.5%

Isn’t 5% CETAC 30% too much ?

@anna maria how much would u suggest i use?

6% oils is to much for a conditioner. Replace is with max 2 or 3 % . I recommend the Pe 9010

@Ahlmeyer thank you

thank you

PhilGeis said:

Agree re Germall + and add EDTA - you could also use Kathon/Na benzoate/EDTA
how much EDTA can i add @PhilGeis THANK YOU

I’d opt for liquid germall for preservation, but use level might be closer to 0.5%. Which form of vitamin E are you using? If it’s tocopheryl acetate it’s pointless and you should switch to tocopherol or eliminate entirely

i was thinking about acetate thank you

[Glodie]

Thank you very much this helps a lot

[Glodie]

Thank you
