    What does as supplied mean?  I just used 2% CAPB in the formula. Thanks!

    CAPB is usually around 30% dilution. The rest is water with possible preservative … That’s what @ngarayeva001 meant by “as supplied”.

    If you add 2% into formula, you’ll have 0.6% of actual CAPB in finish product. Do you think it’s enough to create a foam? :)

    What @Paprik said…and to answer the original question: no limit to CAPB 30% in rinse-off products, not that you’d need to use more than 20% of it in anything.

    Bring it up at least to 2% ASM.
