I’m about to try the cg method and I’m in the process of separating out my usable products.

I want to ask about Elvive smooth silk intense conditioner because I liked it and have two big bottle still… smile

It has amodimethicone but in combination with cetrimonium chloride and Trideceth-6! (rather than trideceth- 12 which I know would be bad).

Any budding chemists out there who know if trideceth-6 works in the same way as trideceth-12 in this situation?  Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I’ll include the ingredients;

Ingredients
Aqua/Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Amodimethicone, Potato Starch Modified, Behentrimonium Chloride, CI 47005/Acid Yellow 3, CI 14700/Red 4, Dodecene, Hydrolyzed Silk, Argania Spinosa Oil/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Trideceth-6, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Poloxamer 407, Camelina Sativa Oil/Camelina Sative Seed Oil, Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Cetyl Esters, Methylparaben, Citric Acid, Cetrimonium Chloride, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, BHT, Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone, Hezyl Cinnamal, Amyl Cinnamal,

I would say that it would still be non water soluble -  Amodimethicone isn’t one of the really bad ‘cones for build up.  Just occasionally use something with coco betaine/cocamidopropyl betaine in it just to cleanse your hair if you are using this product.

sorry just noticed you are new - welcome smile

Thank you and thank you!

I love the forum.  I wish I’d discovered it ages ago!
