    These two clarifying shampoos cost the same to produce but have different surfactants and surfactant concentrations. They will be used with a conditioner with cationic surfactant and amodimethicone. Which shampoo will have stronger cleaning powder as a clarifying shampoo?<div>

    Shampoo A

    3% SLS active in powder form

    7% SLES

    1% CAPB

    2% citric acid

    0.1% EDTA

    2% NACL

    pH 7

    Shampoo B

    14% SLES

    1% CAPB

    0.1% EDTA

    2% NACL

    pH 7

    Wash water is very hard water

    I’d guess shampoo A because it has SLS

      Thanks

      I after using both shampoo a few times as shampoo and as face wash, i think shampoo A is milder than B as face wash and my hair also feels better with shampoo A.

      As I don’t have tools to measure the mildness so i am asking you experts, is shampoo a also milder than B or it is just my thinking?
