@Amittal It's more of an industrial surfactant. I would imagine it to be too harsh for hand wash. Why not just use the typical surfactants for cosmetic use?
Agree, too harsh for skin use. albeit sometimes I wonder if SLS is just as harsh, if not harsher than sulfonate.
As a nice experiment, you can try neutralizing LABSA with Magnesium hydroxide and see if the resulting Magnesium sulfonate remains water soluble. That would make it milder, like Magnesium laureth sulfate vs SLES.

Try this commercial formula;
1. Water balance to 100
2. Glycerin 1
3. SLES 14
4. DEA 2
5. BETAINE 1
6. EDTA 0.2
7. SALT 4
8. Perfume & dye qs
