I have this same question.  I have tried to use this guar gum and I have failed every time in my shampoo formula.  I don’t You need to heat the guar gum.  I have also heard using glycerin to mix with the guar gum and then add to the shampoo mixture.

What about using Plantapon LGC instead of Plantaren ABP?

Thank you so much.  I will try this.  It is interesting that many shampoos are adding oils like shea butter, argan oil, avocado oil.  I know the oils can reduce the foam.  Is it more of a marketing thing that manufacturers are adding butters and oils?

I’m trying to create a moisturizing shampoo.  Cetyl alcohol, shea butter is for moisture and stearic acid and dimethicone is for slipperiness.  Many shampoos on the shelf use these ingredients.
