    Hi,

    do anybody know why is detergent cloudy in low temperatures, please? It contains 4-6% of Potassium cocoate. If contains soap it is cloudy in low temperatures (<10 °C), without soap it is clear. Other ingredients SLES, Ethoxylated alcohol, GLDA, Cocamidopropyl betaine..

    Thank you for your help.

    Soap micelles are large enough to scatter light. Your situation is normal.
