    I modified the formula as follows:

    PURIFIED WATER      75,60
    VEGETABLE GLYCERINE USP      2,00
    CITRID ACID 10% 
    SUNFLOWER OIL
         1,00
         6,00
    DIMETHICONE          3,00
    TWEEN 80      2,25
    SHEA BUTTER GLYCERIDE      0,10
    CETOSTEARYL ALCOHOL NF      3,00
    CETYL ALCOHOL NF      3,00
    GLYCERYL STEARATE SE      2,75
    PHENOXYETHANOL       1,00
    FRAGANCE OIL      0,30

    The pH value is between 5 and 6.

    But the product takes a week to increase the viscosity.

    Can it be the homogenization rate?

    Can it be the order of addition?

    Is there any recommendation to work emulsifiers such as cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate, getting the best performance of each material?

    I really appreciate the collaboration.

    Self-emulsifying as it contains a small amount 3-6% of potassium stearate.
