Revised Hair Conditioner Formula for Thicker Texture

Asked by: aoy.thanawadee On: May 22, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

I am developing a hair conditioner and would like to achieve a thicker, creamier texture. Based on a recommendation, I have revised my formula to include the following:

  • Behentrimonium Chloride (3%)
  • Cetearyl Alcohol (3%)
  • Polyquaternium-7 (5%)
  • Herbal water (88%)
  • Glydant (0.5%)
  • Fragrance (0.5%)

Is this revised formula suitable for achieving the desired texture? Are there any potential issues, especially with the herbal water? I plan to test this formula.

Answer

Revised Hair Conditioner Formula

Based on the staff's recommendation, your revised formula incorporating Behentrimonium Chloride and Cetearyl Alcohol is a good approach to achieve a thicker, creamier texture for your hair conditioner.

The staff correctly pointed out that your initial formula lacked ingredients specifically designed to build viscosity and create a creamy consistency. Adding Behentrimonium Chloride and Cetearyl Alcohol, as suggested, will address this issue.

Your revised formula includes:

  • Behentrimonium Chloride (3%)
  • Cetearyl Alcohol (3%)
  • Polyquaternium-7 (5%)
  • Herbal water (88%)
  • Glydant (0.5%)
  • Fragrance (0.5%)

The staff also mentioned that the compatibility of the herbal water with the other ingredients cannot be fully guaranteed without knowing its exact composition, especially if it's not distilled water. It is wise to proceed with testing the formula as you plan, particularly to observe stability and texture with your specific herbal water.

Testing the revised formula will allow you to confirm the desired consistency and ensure all components are compatible.
