Question
Can Cond-Foam (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) be mixed with ClearClean (Acrylates Crosspolymer) to make a clear shampoo formulation?
Answer
Clear Shampoo with Cond-Foam and ClearClean
Yes, you can mix Cond-Foam (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) and ClearClean (Acrylates Crosspolymer) to create a clear shampoo formulation.
- Cond-Foam is a gentle surfactant that provides good foaming and conditioning properties, working well in the pH range of 5-6.
- ClearClean is a thickening agent specifically designed to create clear, high-viscosity formulations and can suspend beads or particles. It maintains clarity in the pH range of 4-6.
The pH ranges where both ingredients function optimally (pH 5-6 for Cond-Foam's foaming and pH 4-6 for ClearClean's clarity) overlap, making them compatible for a clear shampoo.
To achieve a clear formula, it is important to follow the mixing instructions for ClearClean, particularly adjusting the final pH of the shampoo to be within the 4-6 range.
