@jemolian Actually, no, I haven’t thought to try it. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll make a small sample and test it to see if it comparable.

@jemolian Thanks for your reply - I’ll check them out. Yes, I have Betaine and have worked with it, and you are right about the moisturisation function. The thing is that I need the MG-60 mostly for its texurising and foam quality enhancing properties.

@chemicalmatt I realised I hadn’t tagged you in my previous reply to you, so I just wanted to tag you here to thank you for answering my query.

@letsalcido Thanks for your reply. Sorry, maybe I didn’t make make myself clear. Since I don’t own a company and the manufacturers will not consider me eligible for a sample and I can’t find to purchase MG-60 in small quantities, I need a substitute for MG-60 which is also naturally-derived and that is also a texturizer and foam quality enhancer, on the same lines just like you explained for MG-60.

Thank you, chemicalmatt for replying. Could you maybe suggest a suitable natural/naturally derived alternative to MG-60 if you know of any? Any ideas?

Hi johnb. Thanks for your advice. Will buy sterile swabs and try the tests again.

Belassi: Thanks again…beer or coffee sound enticing in a shampoo! I make a gentle cold process soap with beer but it hadn’t crossed my mind to use it in a shampoo formula.

johnb: as far as I know the cotton bud was sterile because I used another cotton bud from the same packet to spread a sample of my homemade deodorant on the dip-slide of another Microcount Duo test vial and it resulted clear.

Thanks for answering!

DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ: to tell you the truth I hadn’t thought to check the ph at that time. I’ll make a smaller batch and test it.

Belassi: yes the dried herbs and botanicals are all shop bought. I will try your suggestion. Thanks for your help!
