Hi, im a new in a liquid hand soap making process. I triy to replicate one of the product that already been sold in the market. After a little change to cut the cost, the result is still quite similar with a good viscosity and good foam.
But the problem occur after i add fragrance oil, the viscosity is decrease so much. And after i try the soap, the fragrance is not strong enough.
Here is my formulation per 100ml:
Aqua qs.
SLES 6 gr
Cocoamidopropyl betaine 3 ml
Sodium chloride 2,3 gr
Sodium benzoate 1 gr
Glycerin 1 ml
Cocoamide DEA 1 ml
Glycol disteartae 1 ml
Fragrance oil 0,5~1 ml (different for each scent)
Citric acid 0,2 gr
Aloe barbadensis extract 0,2 ml
EDTA 2Na 0.1 gr
Phenoxyethanol 0,1 ml
And this is the ingredients of the reference product i tried to replicate:
Aqua, SLES (4,28%), Cocoamidopropyl betaine (2,90%), lactic acid, sodium chloride, sodium benzoate, polyquarternium-7, glycerin, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol, parfum, mel, pottasium sorbate, aloe barbadensis.
So, this is my questions:
Im sorry for this so many questions. I've been face a lot of issues since the first time i try to make this soap (like the foam doesn't want to rid off after washing, etc) i really hope i can get the answer here
Your help is highly appreciated.Thank you so much!

2. You will have to experiment.
3. Loss of viscosity caused by adding fragrance is a usual problem.
4. No.
5. No. Yes.
6. No idea.
also, sodium benzoate is more than twice as high % as normally used.
how much should i add the surfactant?
Thanks
Best Regards
