    I was able to make another bottle of baby wash because I have few samples left of Glucamate CCO.
    But how come I’m still having sensorial issues? There is still this squeaky clean feel to it. 
    I increased the concentrations of the oil, polysorbate and glycerin to 6%; and the problem now is, the foam decreased drastically. This is the same thing that’s happening to me when I was still using Xanthan gum..
    What do you think am I missing here?

    Thanks @Belassi 
    Your comments are really helpful!
    I am now considering on going back to Glucamate.

    Hi @Bobzchemist  @Belassi 

    I took all your advices well. 
    I was able to ask for samples, and the formulation was wonderful!
    Unfortunately, Glucamate VLT and Suganate is quite expensive here in the Philippines. 
    I am currently working on this formulation, trying to replace Glucamate VLT.
    Decyl glucoside
    Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
    Olive oil
    Polysorbate 
    Xanthan gum
    Glycerin
    Potassium sorbate 
    Citric acid
    Fragrance
    Water

    My problem is, the wash is giving a “squeaky clean-feel”. This is the reason why I added Olive oil and Polysorbate. But as soon as I added the oil, the foam in the formulation reduced substantially. Can you suggest something I could add to make this formulation work?

    Another thing, do you think Potassium sorbate is enough as my preservative. I was thinking of replacing it with Phenoxyethanol. Because I’ve read somewhere that Potassium sorbate is a weak preservative.
