    Hi my friends
    Please help me
    I want to make organic dish wash. Enzymes, It come from fruit
    I tend to stabibize by Xanthan gum, but xanthan gum make solid is not as good as CMC. CMC is safe? 
    And i want to use CAPB combine decyl glucoside for making foam. But i have read CAPB is reason for irritation and i saw CAPB’s smell is not nice. I can use Decyl glucoside only? Give me advice because decyl glucoside is expensive, anything is good to combine decyl

    For truly organic (well, organic-derived)
    you can only use vegetable oils from plants that weren’t treated with pesticides or fed synthetic fertilizers.
    Then you can saponify oils with NaOH or KOH.

    You can look for ready made enzymes and see if they have an organic certification.
    At least if the fruits do, they use chemicals to extract the enzymes.

    CAPB and glucosides ain’t organic.

    Thanks a lot
    I tend to use 8%decyl and 4%CAPB,7%glycrecin,1,5% xanthan gum. That is good for dishwash? How do you think mr Gunther

    CAPB+glucoside might be too mild for dishwash, it may not cut grease well.
    Xanthan gum may leave a sticky feel.

    IMO a shampoo formulation will work fine as a non irritating hand dishwash
    SLES + CAPB + alkanolamide + salt to thicken it + preservative

    Oh yes. Xantha gum leaves sticky feel. I fear Sles will make irritation with sensitize person. I just want to use with mild sucfactant.
