FORMULATION TIPS

Shampoo Formulations

• Polyquaternium‑53 polymer is compatible with most major anionic and amphoteric surfactants, affording greater formulating flexibility.

• For best clarity in liquid cleansing products, add Polyquaternium‑53 polymer at the beginning of the batch, followed by betaine or another amphoteric surfactant. Then add an anionic surfactant or blend later. Order of addition can be adjusted to optimize clarity.

• Aqueous solutions of the terpolymer will tolerate up to 40% ethanol before becoming hazy.

• When formulating with Carbomer polymers, hydrate and neutralize the Carbopol first. Add anionic surfactants, then betaines or amphoterics, followed by Polyquaternium‑53 polymer. Protect both anionic and ampholytic polymers with betaine and amphoteric surfactants. Ingredient order can be adjusted to help achieve clarity.
