    Hi,
    I try some SLES to make hand wash.. like chinese, taiwan’s and indian Sles also, but non of them comes out with crystal clear & transparent look. All of them little mild in color. Please advice me what to do, to make my hand wash crystal clear 100% transparent. ?
    like any chemical do I need to puted in ? or any other things need to do ?

    Which emulsifiers are you using? Are you using gelling ingredients such as HEC or Carbomer?

    if you have oils such as fragrance, mix the oil into the SLES first before adding water. The SLES will act as the solubiizer for the fragrance oil.

    Use solubilizer like PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, always use D.I. water.
