Shampoo Formula Review

Thank you for sharing your shampoo formula.

The formula includes:

• Coco Betaine (30%)
• Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, 10%)
• SugarThick (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, 1%)
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5, 0.5%)
• Poly-Conditioner Pro (0.1%)
• Mild Preserved Eco (Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, 0.5%)
• Fragrance (0.3%)
• Water (57.6%)

Total: 100%

This formula uses a combination of amphoteric (Coco Betaine) and anionic (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate) surfactants, which is common in shampoos for good foam and cleansing. The total percentage of surfactant products (40%) appears quite high, which might result in strong cleansing properties.

The formula also includes beneficial ingredients like Panthenol for moisturizing and Poly-Conditioner Pro for conditioning and detangling, which help balance the cleansing action. SugarThick is included as a thickener, and Mild Preserved Eco is a standard preservative blend. Fragrance is added for scent.

Overall, it looks like a functional shampoo formula. Key considerations for evaluation would be:

• Cleansing Strength: With 40% surfactant products, it might be quite strong. Test on different hair types to see if it's too stripping.
• Viscosity: The 1% SugarThick is a starting point, but the final thickness will depend on the specific surfactant products and may require adjustment (more thickener or potentially salt if compatible).
• pH: Remember to adjust the final pH of the shampoo to around 5.0-5.5 for optimal hair health and product stability.

The performance will ultimately depend on the quality and specific characteristics (like active matter content) of the raw materials used.
