How to thicken isethionates?
Sodium lauroyl isethionate don’t seem to thicken with salts despite it being anionic.
What else do you can use to thicken formulations with them? -

The performance of shampoo thickeners is directly proportional to their cost. EG,
Worst: Xanthan gum.
Medium: PEG-150 distearate
Best: Glucamate VLT.
It is possible to combine. EG, 1.5% PEG-150 distearate + 1.5% cocamide MEA + 1.5% Glucamate VLT. -
You could probably also use Carbomer EDT 2020 or Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose.
