    Hi, 

    I have been trying to make my own liquid dishwash using SLS, SLS powder, Salt (NaCL), Glycerin (Moisturizer), EDTA and Parfume.

    May i know any chemicals that will increase the foam on my liquid soap ? thanks

    Use a surfactant designed for that job. SLS isn’t.

    Use a 96% active linear dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid and neutralize during formulation with NaOH

    @”DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ” I think we had a discussion about it and we almost spelled complete formula. 
    @ryanou please look up for that discussion here.

    @ryanou not sure when it was, but try searching with ‘LABSA’

    I’ll note that BASF have some nice example formulations, not using LABSA, but mainly alkylpolyglucosides, which do perform and foam quite well. 
    I’ve used those for projects where the perceived premium ecological claims are more important than the absolute cost.
    LABSA is still the workhorse and yes has good costs

    @Duncan while I completely agree with you, the problem of APGs is too many ‘ifs & buts’. We promote Ecosense range but generally avoid it in DWLs, and as you said LABSA is the way to go.
