Try, try again

So I gave the stearamidopropyl dimethylamine conditioner another shot, this time putting the SD in the oil phase, per the instructions of the supplier.

Water phase was water and citric acid, oil phase was cetearyl alcohol and SD, cool down phase was dimethicone, cyclomethicone, silk amino acids, fragrance oil, disodium EDTA, and liquid Germall Plus.

I heated the water and oil phases to 70°C and held for 20 minutes before pouring the water into the oil. Mixed with my milk frother for three minutes, with no emulsification. Continued trying to mix for about another 10 minutes with no emulsification.

Dumped the unemulsified liquid down the drain and reserved the cool-down ingredients for the next attempt.

Argh.
