Surfactants: Building viscosity – increasing micelle size

The second way to increase the viscosity of our surfactant-y creations is to increase the size of the micelles. (Please click here for a refresher on micelles!) We learned in the post about increasing mildness that increasing micelle size can reduce irritation, so you’re not only building viscosity, you’re decreasing irritation! (I love two-for-one processes!)We…
