Experiments in the workshop: Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine conditioner test
When I find a new ingredient, I do a search of all the materials on my computer or iPad, then I look for prototype formulas to give me an idea of what I can do with this thing. In this case, I was looking for more information about stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, a conditioner we met yesterday.
I found this formula - Shiny locks intensive conditioner - so I tried it with a few small changes. I find it wise to make the first batch as close to or completely as written as this will give me a sense of what success should look like. If I go messing with it before I've even tried it, then I'll never know when it's right.
SHINY LOCKS INTENSIVE CONDITIONER
HEATED WATER PHASE
84.5% distilled water
2% stearamidopropyl dimethylamine
0.3% citric acid
0.5% panthenol (powder) 3% cetrimonium chloride
HEATED OIL PHASE
7% cetearyl alcohol
2% cyclomethicone
0.2% dimethicone
COOL DOWN PHASE
0.5% liquid Germall Plus
1% fragrance oil (I used guava fig from Windy Point Soap*)
1. Heat heated water phase to 65?C.
2. Heat oil phase to 65?C.
3. Add the oil phase to the water phase using a high shear mixer, like an immersion blender. I used the MiniPro Mixer from Lotioncrafter* for the small batch, but used my Braun stick blender for larger batches.
4. Cool to 40?C and add the cool down phase with high shear mixing.
This is a fairly weird looking product so far. Look how clear and foamy it is! It will eventually cool down to become an opaque and thicker product by the next day.
