Procedure

Combine phase A, heating to 60°C (140°F) with mixing. When phase A is a completely homogeneous solution add phase B with continued mixing. Cool to 30°C (86°F) and then adjust pH to 6.3-7.3 with phase C. Add phase D sequentially and continue mixing until clear and homogeneous.

More Information

This stability tested nature-based formulation makes use of a primary surfactant selected for high foaming and secondary surfactants included for irritancy reduction and viscosity enhancement to yield a shampoo with near Newtonian rheology for an exceptionally rich feel during application. The concentration of HallStar PEG 6000 DS C may be modified to proportionately adjust finished product viscosity. As presented, the viscosity (RVTD, 5 to 100 rpm) is ~2400 cP at 25°C.
