Colour examples guide your choice. Confirm the colour in your complete formula; the images do not predict the result.

02 · Touch & feelFresh foam, clean rinse and a refined salon-compatible look in pack.
  1. 01Controlled pour and distribution
  2. 02Fresh foam with adequate cushion
  3. 03Clean rinse and manageable fibre feel

Test these targets in the same base with and without AHE. They are not measured results for your formula.

03 · Odour / flavour
  1. 01Assess bottle headspace
  2. 02Rate fragrance and intrinsic notes during lather
  3. 03Check wet-hair and dry-hair residual separately

Compare the odour of samples with and without AHE before choosing fragrance or flavour. Keep the sample identities hidden during assessment.

Source formula: 0.8% Parfum / Aroma. Choosing an odour target does not change the ingredients. For an unfragranced comparison, both bases must be reformulated without fragrance.

Processing steps
  1. 01Heat the water phase to 60°C and the surfactant phase separately to 40°C.
  2. 02Disperse the rheology system into the water phase and homogenise.
  3. 03Cool under controlled stirring; add surfactants at 40°C and fragrance at 30°C.
  4. 04Finish homogenisation and compare clarity, deposition, foam, rinse and pack appearance.

Boundary: This is an older reference formula. A version with 0.05–0.30% AHE is a new trial formula, not the 0.3% shampoo used in the separate study.

A documented finished-shampoo swatch remains pale and translucent even though the raw AHE material is dark.

Exact appearance remains specific to this base, AHE level, process and lighting.
Material expression

Treat the level as guide-formula specific and compare it with the lower tested-formula precedent.

Best cases are used as decision support, not as borrowed product proof. Customer names, trade names and logos are omitted. The planned AHE level, complete formula, process, stability, safety, package, performance and claims remain project-specific gates.

For the R&D team turning an idea into its own base

Keep the material and process choices visible.

Six parameters connect the creative direction to the complete base while ingredient specification, guide experience and finished-product responsibilities remain separate.

Current ingredient specification
Request current version

Use the controlled specification applicable to the project and supplied material.

Formulation vehicle
Define the complete system

Vehicle, water phase, rheology and other materials can change dispersion and appearance.

Addition and process
Confirm for the format

Review order of addition, temperature history, shear and homogenisation for the complete formula.

Colour and texture
Evaluate in the exact base

AHE load, base colour, opacity, particle distribution and packaging visibility shape the final expression.

Low-viscosity formats
Plan physical stability

Assess settling, redispersion, use instructions and packaging in the target system.

Finished product
Validate independently

Confirm stability, microbiology, safety, packaging, performance and claims.
