@MarkBroussard yes I was using xanthan as a thickener.

@MarkBroussard I will do as you recommended. Decrease oils and increase decyl. Yes I meant citric acid is what I used. Can I keep the aloe Vera and xanthan/guar in formula?

[Healthyhair1]

I meant I usually heat half the water

[Healthyhair1]

Ok I usually beat half the water and add xanthan to that and it congrats nicely so should I perhaps add the pearlizer to the hot water?

[Healthyhair1]

Should I increase decyl and reduce water?

[Healthyhair1]

I’d say a turbid yellow. And when I shake it it gets a little lighter but when sitting will turn back.

@pharma I double posted because I am new and did not realize my post may be in the wrong area.

I actually mix the xanthan and guar to liquids let sit until they become gelatinous then add mixture to decyl (17%).  Then add oils  (7.5%), glycerin (5%), vitamin c and optiphen

I have not tested shelf line without citric acid because the shampoo was a bit stripping without citric acid. 

I’ve also tried it with coconut water and the same result. 

Should I use aloe powder instead of aloe juice or is there anything I can do to prevent it from spoiling? 

I forgot to add I use Guar aswell as the xanthan 50/50 ratio 

Oils 4.75%
detergent 17%
