    @letsalcido yes it has SLES right now bought we are working on new formulas to eliminate or replace SLES.

    Current formula is 
    SLES - %6 active 
    CAPB - %3 active 
    Lauryl Glucoside - 3 active 
    Total %12 active surfactant. 

    I myself have allergy to SLES even if %1 in product so may be other people are allergic too. 

    Also want to try sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate but haven’t purchased or used yet. Any idea about that surfactant?

    @Belassi we only have inline homogenizer which is high shear. So for large batches we have to use that

    @Perry in Shampoo, should reduce the % of active surfactant when we add cocamide DEA or should add it on top of active surfactants? 

    Surfactants are
    %10 active CAPB 
    %2.5 active lauryl glucoside
     
    Total%12 active surfactant

    @Belassi thanks 
    Is that increase in viscosity because of that surfactant or because of the salt in it?

    @MarkBroussard 

    %20 active surfactant of Glucoside is very drying for hair as my experience. 

    I would purchase some cocamide MEA and see what it does. 

    Will cocamide methyl MEA be the same as cocamide MEA as it is liquid and easier to use?

    @Perry thanks 
    Yeah it is hard to beat SLS or get near that with this formula. But consumers demand sulfate free and other than Glucoside and CAPB all other anionic surfactants are very expensive.
    So how can we enhance and stabilize the foam of Glucoside/CAPB in an inexpensive way?

    @MarkBroussard thanks 

    Cocamide MIPA is not available here. 
    Cocamide DEA, Cocamide MEA, Cocamide methyl MEA, Lauramine Oxide is available. Which one is better to use?

    Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is very expensive. If we add in high quantity cost will increase a lot. If we add in small quantity how would foam compare to above surfactants?

    @klangridge thanks 

    I use Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine %1. How does it effect foam? 

    Don’t have vegetable oil but %0.5 glyceryl oleate and %0.3 sweet orange essential oil. What to add instead of fragrance oil to give it smell but not reduce foam?

    I will increase the active surfactant to %12 and see.

    They are all as active surfactant. It is %10 CAPB which is %3 active

    It is powder and sold locally with SLES. I don’t know if it is dye or pigment. 
    What is the difference? 

    It is yellow color. I want Shampoo to have orange color

    Would water soluble rosemary extract have the same effect as ROE if added to a cream with unrefined hempseed oil which goes rancid very quickly?

    Sodium Dehydroacetate.

    . It is completely water soluble
    . Usage rate is %0.1-0.6

    @Perry that is Hydroxyethylcellulose. I asked about Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose if it is compatible with %15 APG. I have seen 2 manufacturers one said it is not compatible one said it is compatible. So i thought i may find correct answer here.

    @justaerin thanks 

    . It is glyceryl stearate alone not the se.
    . I will replace GMS with cetearyl alcohol and see if it make any difference.
    . Yes sodium phytate increase the pH and i reduced it with citric acid to 5-6 before mixing. 
    . I will use %10 BTMS and see what it does. 
    . Do we need to add water to oil when the oil phase is very small?
