Dehyton G discontinued?
According to Specialchem, Dehyton G (sodium cocoamphoacetate) has been discontinued. If true in Mexico, I’ll have to find an alternate. I use it as one of the three components of our sulphate-free shampoo.

You can get it from other suppliers. Try Cola Teric1C from Colonial Chemicals.

I’m in Mexico, I’d have to import it from them.
I might try a test batch with Plantapon LGC sorb, I have some of that in the lab. -
can you get hold of Stepan, Evonik or Kao products?
besides BASF, those three are the major suppliers of sodium cocoamphoacetate with a worldwide presence, and there are many smaller ones too; it’s a pretty generic product

Hey Bill thanks for that. I already buy Kao products, I use RLM-45CA which is a wonderful surfactant. I will ask my rep if they stock it. Stepan or Evonik, I don’t think so. I’m not keen on messing with the formula, it took me about 18 months of development time and a lot of wasted material and a lot of reading books and Web articles.

Colonial distributes through Vantage in Mexico. No need to import yourself.

Thanks for that. I will investigate further.

@Belassi if you don’t mind using an anionic replacement I would recommend disodium laureth sulfosuccinate that works miracles and is a very strong alternative to SLES. Otherwise I would aim using sodium lauryl sarcosinates which also reduces in a higher extent the irritancy of a formula. SABO and KAO provide these two surfactants respectively.

@manstra, thanks for that. Unfortunately my Kao distributor only stocks a limited number of surfactants. Even for RLM45CA they only have two customers and one of them is us!
