Foaming Issue
For some time now I have been battling with low lather in my liquid detergent. This my formulation for 100L; LAS-4L, SLES 3.5Kg, SLS 2Kg, Cocamide 2L, then other additives like perf, preservative, colorant etc. Is there something I’m not doing right here. I will appreciate your generous and professional input. Thank you.

Why don’t you try adding little foam booster like a betaine, might help u a long way.

@milliachemist How much ltr will do for 100L?
-
Can you convert your formula into % Bimsmide?
-
@MakingSkincare LAS 4% SLES 3.5% SLS 2% Cocamide 2%
-
The percentages of surfactant are low so I’d increase them and add betaine. What detergent are you making - body wash? hand wash?
-
Hand and dishwash. Can give an idea figure for the increment?

@Bimsmide Start with 2% and check if you need more or need to increase the main surfactants a little than the current level.
