Question
If I want to make a shampoo formulation using GuarCat™ Standard as a thickener, is it possible? Will the resulting texture be clear or opaque?
Answer
Using GuarCat™ Standard in Shampoo
Yes, GuarCat™ Standard (which appears to be the same as GuarCat™ Clear based on the description and INCI name Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride) can be used as a thickener in shampoo formulations.
According to the product description, this special type of cationic guar is suitable for shampoo and acts as a thickener to increase viscosity. It is specifically noted to give a clear texture, making it suitable for formulas where clarity is desired.
