Trying to reverse-engineer a shampoo . . .
Hi, all.
I am interested in reverse-engineering aspects of the below formulation.
I would imagine the concentration of the surfactant listed first, decyl glucoside, would need to be at least 5% for this product to produce sufficient foam (which of course means glycerin and ethanol are present at 5%-plus, as well). Does that sound like a correct assumption, or not really?
Thank you.

Instead of reverse engineer it, I’d try to make it better, by removing both Glycerin, Ethanol and all of those useless extracts, adding a broad spectrum preservation system, and a cationic polymer for conditioning.
