Thank you. Probably I need a better humid meter or a good aging oven

IMO, the Cetrimonium Chloride thinned out your shampoo. Leave it out and try adding 0.5-1% salt.

I tried 10% with Acrypol ST100, a kind of Polymer, it works.

The same INCI doesn’t mean much when it comes to complex polymers
. Not even simple chemicals have to be chemically identical just because they have the same INCI (unfortunately cosmetics doesn’t know IUPAC nomenclature).Yes it is, especially with Carbomer range
) . However, for Ultrez 20, a good alternative with same INCI and same function is Ultrathix 21 (SOrry I mistyped the commercial names) @g@Gunther
I did some test and they both did well similarly -

Thank you. I can not just choose hot-fill, already have one.
This is our cold process one to save energy. -
There is also an alternative to Ultrez 21, which is Ulcatrez 20 I think, same INCI.
FOr other thickener:
HEC: may gel but its soaping and foaming make it suck.
Xanthan gum: not work well.
Siligel: expensive and sticky. -
Do you mean sanitizing alcohol gel? If yes, it is because of type of gelling agent you are using. Sticky ones I tried are: ordinary carbomer and xanthan gum. Like Fekher said, Ultrez 21 is great for this application because of its great non sticky feeling.

Thanks guys. I went for no.2 with 2 blades and bigger than the one in the picture.

@johnb thank you and everyone. Great tips.
I also found this which would suit better, wouldnt it?
One more question: is 300-500RPM enough for making high vicious shampoo?
Thank you! -
Thank you.

No Squalane or silicone though. I heard someone said that because of high humidity, if space in the container is too much, there is a big risk that water would appear. Thats why they always leave very little space on top. What do you think?
