    I don’t see anything in the formula that would cause dandruff.  To figure out what is causing the problem you should do a knockout experiment.

    I don’t know what you are talking about.

    If the ingredients are giving you the results you want then they are not high. If you are not getting results you want then you either increase or decrease the levels.  The exact percent you use depends on many factors including the ingredient you are using, the way it was made and the quality of the raw material source. You have to experiment to optimize the level of ingredients.  Start with a knockout experiment.

    We can’t predict to decrease or increase % of ingredients as most of the ingredients affect viscosity of shampoo. I do agree with Perry, it needs more trials. First decide which kind of property you are looking for your shampoo.
