• We use  PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil (Acrysol K140 or Eumulgin CO40) as the alternative for Polysorbate 80. But IMO, almost the solubilizer will produce foam if they are surfactant.

  in Dissolving High SLES %70 Comment by MapX June 2020
• You can dissolve PEG - 150 Distearate in hot water (approx 70 - 80°C) with slow mixing to avoid bubbles. Just dissolve it alone, you can add to your SLES before mix with CAPB. And what is percentage of PEG - 150 you are using?
