It might be that your level of LABS is too high for the amount to NaCl you’re using. Since you already made the batch, I’d advise you to drop in some Sodium xylene sulfonate. You can take a sample of your batch to test the amount needed for your product.

in another formulation i made the same formula without the LABS its still the same

Since you mentioned that the smaller batch cleared up more quickly, it’s important to investigate the differences between the small and large batches. Pay attention to mixing methods, temperature, order of ingredient addition, and any other variables that could impact the quality of your detergent.If the issue persists, you might consider consulting with a professional chemist or formulator who specializes in detergent or cosmetic formulations. They can provide specific guidance based on the ingredients you’re using and help you troubleshoot the cloudiness problem effectively.

Pls try LABS and SLES with a ratio of 2.5,(eg, LABS - 10%, SLES -4%) . Sometimes they are not clear if their ratio is not the balance.
