  • Lauryl glucoside, CAPB mixture

    Posted by Abdullah on June 5, 2020 at 7:02 am

    Has anyone used PLANTACARE® K 55 which is a mixture of lauryl glucoside and CAPB? 

    What is the percentage of lauryl glucoside and CAPB in this mixture? 

    What would be a good ratio of lauryl glucoside and CAPB in Shampoo as only surfactants?

    1. Not me.
    2. Only the manufacturer knows that.
    3. You will have to try it and see.

    1. Nope sorry
    2.Not sure but the mixture is ~50% water so take that into account
    3. As the only surfactants? I’m not sure how the performance of that product would be. If I were you I would start with 3 different ratios- a 1:1, high lauryl to low capb, and then the reverse. Based on how those feel it should give you direction on what to do next
