    Tried formulating shampoo bar many times but the foaming is very less. 
    Used 15%SCI
    And 15% SLES
    Used coconut, palm oils in 0.3% each
    Used NaOH and sodium lactate to make the bar by process of saponification. 
    Please let me know the %of surfactants so that good foaming will be produced.

    You’ll need about 40% SCI for these to give decent foam

    SCI, SLSa and CAPB is a good combination. Relatively mild yet foams well.
