Hi @ketchito ,

Thank you so much for your kind reply. My BTMS 50 does contain 50% active ingredient. I will increase the percentage of Cetyl Alcohol as you suggested and I will keep a note of the effect it brings. I suspect isoamyl cocoate might not be readily available in my country but I can get Isoamyl Laurate which I think might be similar to Isoamyl Cocoate if I am not wrong.

I appreciate your kind feedback again.

Hi @Camel , thank you so much for your helpful feedback. I will definitely increase the BTMS to 5% in my next formulation and see whether that changes the conditioning effect of the conditioner.

I am currently using 2% Sweet Almond oil but i am very keen to look into adding Plantasens® Olive LD as an alternative. I havent checked the PH level of the conditioner but I will certainly do in my next batch.

Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it so much.

Huge thank you @ketchito again for your amazing tip. That sounds great paper to read, thanks for sharing. I definitely want glide hopefully without using silicones. I will keep a note of your suggestions. Honestly, I cannot thank you and everyone enough for your kind feedbacks. I feel less alone in my journey of learning and formulating at home.

Hi @chemicalmatt ,

Thank you so much for your feedback. Apologies for the late response. I actually do have both Shea Butter and Castor oil but I purely avoided using them in the past because I heard that they can weigh the hair down, I will start incorporating them in small percentages and see how the conditioner turns out. I will research Mineral oil, thank you and Ketchito for your helpful suggestions.
