thanks everyone, after few days, the viscosity increase back. i think it really need some time to settle down and achieve the viscosity

[mmarr]

thank you @Abdullah and @ketchito for the reply. i had tried with salt but it apparently doesn’t make much different.

[mmarr]

because i think percentage of olivem 100 i out in the formulation not enough, and adding peg-100 stearate to increase stabilization and also trying to reduce cost.

[mmarr]

coz actually, i can get nice emulsion when combining this two. no issue so far with separation, just the viscosity issue

[mmarr]

can i ask details differences between ethoxylated and non-ethoxylated?

[mmarr]

but olivem 1000 and peg-100 stearate & glyceryl stearate both are ethoxylated/non-ionic emulsifier right, should be compatible

[mmarr]

have you try using same formulation using CAPB and one more replace with lauryl betaine? I had tried several time, the result still shown that using CAPB the viscosity higher compared to lauryl betaine.
