Question
Regarding the use of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, I have a few questions:
- Can it be dissolved directly in water at room temperature, or is heat required for dissolution?
- Will the finished product be a clear liquid shampoo?
- If I use 30% in the formulation, is it necessary to use other thickeners?
Answer
Using Sulfate Free Shampoo Base
Regarding the use of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, here is the information you requested:
- Dissolution: This base can be dissolved directly in water at room temperature with stirring. While it can withstand heat, it is not necessary for dissolution.
- Finished Product Clarity: Yes, the finished product will be a clear liquid shampoo.
- Thickening: When using Sulfate Free Shampoo Base at 30% in your formula, you will likely need an additional thickener to achieve a suitable shampoo viscosity. You can use salt (Sodium Chloride) at a concentration of about 0.5-1.5% to thicken the formula. Alternatively, you can use specific thickeners designed for shampoo and liquid soap bases, such as SugarThick, ClearClean, Xanthan Gum, or EasyThick.
These recommendations will help you create a clear, well-viscosified sulfate-free shampoo.
