not relevant to function - but I’d use DMDM at no greater than 2500-3000 ppm active.

You seem to have a lot of overlap in your formula with similar ingredients performing similar functions (e.g. EGMS/EGDS/GMS and PQ7/PQ10/GHTC/Cetrimonium Chloride). Try just using one of each at the maximum recommended percentage to see if this makes a difference.
Try reducing the jojoba oil and vitamin E to 0.01% as these raw materials will reduce your foam and just wash away so don’t have any real benefit.
You could also try increasing CAPB to improve foaming.

I agree with @ozgirl ….and remove Glycerin and Sodium PCA (or use them at claim levels, like 0.01%).

@snow rider You’re on the right track! Try reducing jojoba oil and vitamin E slightly and increasing Cocamidopropyl Betaine to improve foam. Simplifying some redundant ingredients could also boost consistency.
