  Glycerin       10.22g 
  Bamboo extract  5.00g
  Alpha olefin sulfonate  152.00g
  Deflu glucoside and sodium lauryl   51.26g
  Almond oil    5.25g
  Peg 7 glyceryl cocoate      8.20g
  Polyquaternium 10     2.64g
  Peg 150 distearate        7.54g

  1. Add up all the grams. This is your total
  2. Divide each ingredient amount by the total.
  3. Multiply each number by 100 to get %

  So water = 424.44/683.17 x 100 = 62.13%

  I would also mention…that Opti Plus has a pH sensitive component.  I would make sure your formula falls into that range.
