Is high CAPB making no-sulfate handwash sticky?
I tried this formulation in a foamer bottle
water qs to 100%
EDTA Na-4 0.1%
Dehyton-K 20% (6% active CAPB)
generic decyl glucoside 10.4% on an active basis
citric acid qs for pH to 5
methylparaben 0.3%
propylparaben 0.09%
water soluble fraganceand it leaves a slightly sticky afterfeel
I previously tried an almost identical formulation, only that active CAPB is 3% and it feels fine, no stickiness and it rinses off faster.Is CAPB making it feel sticky?

@Gunther, I dont think so. I am making a similar product. Total active surfactants 10%, out of which 80% is CAPB. Remaining is coco glucoside and decyl glucoside. Also in a foaming bottle, and preserved with parabens. Maybe you are using too much of decyl glucoside?

Is that 8% active CAPB
and 2% active glucosides
I mean are the % stated meant for active ingredient ? -
@Gunther I think in total 30.4% active is too much for a hand wash

@Gunther, I checked my formula, 70% of CAPB not 80%, which is 7% of the formula. It is not sticky at all. It’s tear-free gentle facewash with total concentration of surfactants of 10%. I think you might have too much of decyl glucoside.
