  Hi BoB,

  I am using Salt as the thickener but sles 2 eo need more salt than sles 1 eo and the performance is not good.

  Why don’t you just use sles-1? What other SAA are you using?

  Saa is surfactant and ocular irritation of sles1and 2 are about the same but the boss is the boss.Add PEG 6000 distearate to increase viscosity If you are not able for whatever reason to add more salt.If you need lather boost with 2 add Cocamido propyl betaine.
