i am sorry for not giving enough information actually a have made two batches of a 2 in 1 shampoo using cade oil obtained from The Juniperus oxycedrus (prickly juniper) tree which were successful its % in the formula was 0.3% and i solubilized it in a solubilizer where i normally solubilize fragrances.
It was when a custumer has requested to put more of this oil in the same formula so i made experiment in the lab using increasing amounts . I didn’t increase the amount of the solubilizer and i get an homogeneous shampoo but more darker brown at 0.8% thinking it will also work for a big batch but it didn’t.
The oil of cade is extracted by pyrolysis from the wood, contains sesquiterpenes and phenols . It should not be confused with the essential oil of cade which is extracted with steam. May be it needs a special solubilizer which will be suitable for its chemical structure.
Thank you Bobzchemist i’ll try your suggestion but the formula contains 1.5% of SLES which is very thick i wonder how can i solubilize it without water ? -
