Thickening and Improving Feel of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base

Based on the discussion, the issue with the formula being too liquid and potentially having a sticky feel after rinsing seems related to the interaction of ingredients, particularly the difficulty in properly mixing Flora Foam with the Sulfate Free Shampoo Base.

To address these issues, the staff recommended the following:

• For thickening: Add EasyThick at 1-4% to achieve the desired viscosity. Alternatively, a small amount of salt can be used, but avoid high concentrations which can cause scalp irritation.
• For improving skin feel (reducing stickiness): Consider adding a Skin Conditioner such as Poly-Conditioner Eco.

Regarding scent for baby products, the staff advised against adding fragrance to minimize allergy risk, suggesting the natural scent of the ingredients is preferable. If you choose to add a scent, it would be based on personal preference, keeping potential sensitivity in mind.
