Answer

Hello,

Thank you for providing your revised Hair Treatment formula.

The overall structure of your formula is suitable for a Hair Treatment aimed at damaged hair, incorporating key ingredients for nourishing and conditioning the hair.

Based on the previous staff advice:

  • Please remove [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/emulsifier/680-silisolve-plus-%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B3-%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99-%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%99.html:1d0o9ptx]SiliSolve Plus[/url:1d0o9ptx] from the formula, as it is not typically used in this type of cream formulation.
  • Regarding the Natural Soapberry Extract (5%), the staff still recommends that you test its compatibility with the formula yourself, as there is no specific information available on its interaction with the other ingredients.

The other ingredients you have chosen, such as [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/emulsifier/480-cetearyl-alcohol.html:2c5dnh6r]Cetearyl Alcohol[/url:2c5dnh6r], [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B9%86%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99-anti-static/1113-behentrimonium-chloride-btac.html:2c5dnh6r]Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC)[/url:2c5dnh6r], and [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B9%86%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99-anti-static/161-cetrimonium-chloride-cetac.html:2c5dnh6r]Cetrimonium Chloride[/url:2c5dnh6r] (CTAC), are excellent conditioning and anti-static agents that help make hair soft, manageable, and reduce frizz. These are very suitable for hair damaged by chemical treatments, dryness, frizz, and lack of weight. Using [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/emulsifier/480-cetearyl-alcohol.html:2c5dnh6r]Cetearyl Alcohol[/url:2c5dnh6r] at 10% will help achieve the desired thick cream texture. [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%A1-%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B0/657-keratin-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99.html:2c5dnh6r]Pure Keratin[/url:2c5dnh6r] is also a good ingredient for helping to repair damaged hair.

If, after making and testing the product, the texture, thickness, or conditioning feel is not entirely satisfactory, you can adjust the percentages of the thickening agents ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/emulsifier/1041-butter-cream-maker.html:2c5dnh6r]Butter Cream Maker[/url:2c5dnh6r], [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/emulsifier/480-cetearyl-alcohol.html:2c5dnh6r]Cetearyl Alcohol[/url:2c5dnh6r]) or the conditioning agents ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B9%86%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99-anti-static/1113-behentrimonium-chloride-btac.html:2c5dnh6r]Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC)[/url:2c5dnh6r], [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B9%86%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99-anti-static/161-cetrimonium-chloride-cetac.html:2c5dnh6r]Cetrimonium Chloride[/url:2c5dnh6r]) as needed.
