    if you try playing with the pH and the mixture of surfactants you may be able to get the required viscosity without using any salt or thickener

    sorry Belassi, my english is from UK. What i was saying is that “formaldehyde donors” ,and preservative like parabens are not liked by the general public. I do hope that all the people here know that parabens are not formaldehyde donors. Sorry if what i wrote gave anyone else the idea that i was  suggesting that. best regards edwardgaunt@gmail.com

    hi, maybe have a look at Kleosol 100 XT (Polyquaternium 37). from Rheolab UK. At about 0.6-1.3% it will make a clear gel in water, which will remain clear with addition of ethyl alcohol if you use alcohol. It has a very nice feel on the skin and of course also on the hair. good luck edwardgaunt@gmail.com

    You may all be correct with your answers, but the bottom line is that “formaldehyde donors” like Paraben” are not liked by the general public. I would try and stop using them. I don’t think it is worth trying to fight it anymore. There really are quite a few products out there, that preserve well, at least until the next bombshell hits us!!!

    Hi Ric, listen to Perry. I think his answer is really correct. Best way to know if a product is good “try it at home”. I would just add one thought. Let a woman do the trials. They are much better at this than we males. They use cosmetics much more than us, and are much more sensitive than we are to sensorial changes etc
