    Yes, if you are using those surfactants you can put “sulfate free” on the bottle.  (At least it’s ok in the US)

    Oils won’t do anything useful in a shampoo
    and they will reduce foam, cleansing ability and viscosity.

    If you must add oils for marketing purposes, add them in claim ingredient levels 0.01% or so.

    You can try synthetic “water soluble oils” like PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate to see if you like them, although it also reduces foam and viscosity a bit, but nowhere near as bad as vegetable oils do.
