Question
If using EasyThick™ to thicken a shampoo or liquid soap formula, will the formula become cloudy if oil is included?
Answer
EasyThick™ and Oil in Formulas
EasyThick™ is designed to provide thickening and a clear texture in water-based formulas like shampoo and liquid soap.
If you include oil in a formula thickened with EasyThick™, the formula will likely become cloudy. EasyThick™ is water-soluble and does not emulsify oil, so the oil droplets will cause turbidity.
