solubility depends on the % of SLES you are using in your formula.You can give heat while gentle stirring. this is the simple way to dissolve it quickly.

Thanks all !!!  all suggestions here helped me well.

@ Perry, I am using SLES 4%(Cognis Texapon N70). Required
thickening was obtained 4% salt, I was also amazed with that. Will try to lower
salt in combinition with hydroxpropyl methylcellulose.

Also by 8% SLES 
did  you mean SLES (100%) 8%?

 On oily skin foam
completely suppressed, is there any way to have good foam in the presence of
sebum on skin?

 Any technique for
flash foaming?

 

@ mikebavington, I will reduce salt and will adjust pH near
to you said.

Also any good literature on foaming and foaming techniques?

 

Thanks both of you.

Matt, you are saying right.

I think Synthalen w400 and Stabylen 30 of 3V can be helpful.

@Perry, I have very less experience and knowledge as compare to this community’s active members but still working on a project like yours but at very very basic level, while keeping in mind of our local situation= majority of people involved in manufacturing have zero know how about basics of cosmetics science. project comprises of free learning material + free lecture and if it gain some interest then some free practical work will be included at later stages. I am almost at the completion of the free learning material, which will be available online at my web in English as well as in Urdu language.

@Shah, you here are few suggestions for you, hope they might help you;

• For reduced irritation use Ca and potassium salts of TGA instead of its Na salt, the downside is Ca and K salts are not as efficient as Na salt of TGA .
• Use D.I. water and EDTA for more stability.
• Use urea for hair shaft swelling and SLS in small quantity for even application and sebum removal on hair for better efficacy of depilatory. Beaware! SLS is renowned skin irritant!!!
• Use purest grades of TGA and alkalies available in market.
• Use PG,  mineral oil and Aloe vera exract.

Use solubilizer like PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, always use D.I. water.
