Ingredients for Shampoo Bar Formulation
Question
I want to use `Liquid Germall Plus` in a shampoo bar. If it's not suitable, are there alternatives? Also, what about `BTMS 50` and `BTMS 25`?
Answer
Information on Ingredients for Shampoo Bar
Regarding the ingredients you inquired about for use in a shampoo bar:
For Liquid Germall Plus, information for this specific product was not found in the database. Generally, preservatives like Liquid Germall Plus are used in products with a high water content to prevent microbial growth.
In the case of Shampoo Bars, which are low-water or water-free solid formulations, if kept dry after use, they may not require the same type of preservative as liquid products. However, if the formula involves water during manufacturing that is not completely removed, or contains ingredients that attract significant moisture, a preservation system suitable for low-water or solid products might be necessary, which would differ from preservatives for liquid formulations.
Regarding BTMS 50 and BTMS 25, the search found information for Behentrimonium methosulfate (BTMS 50%) and Behentrimonium methosulfate (BTMS 90%).
- Behentrimonium methosulfate (BTMS 50%) and Behentrimonium methosulfate (BTMS 90%) are hair and skin conditioning agents.
- They provide softness to hair and can be used in shampoo, conditioner, and treatment formulas. They can also be incorporated into shampoo bars to add conditioning properties.
- The recommended method is to mix them into the oil phase and stir until dissolved. Heat can be used to aid dissolution.
- The suggested usage rate is 1-5%.
Therefore, if you wish to add conditioning benefits to your shampoo bar, you can use either BTMS 50% or BTMS 90%, adjusting the amount based on your desired concentration and formula.
