    @DAS Thanks for pointing that out, currently I’m trying to achieve 12% active surfactant. I misread the chemical name, it is not Cocamide mipa but instead Cocamide dipa that I am using (I couldnt source Cocamide Dipa in my country). The new surfactant combo R&D lab suggest use is a combination of the following;

    DLS 10 x(30%)=3 as
    Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate 6 (30%) =1.8as
    CAPB 4 (30%) = 1.2 as
    SCI (65%) = 2.6 as
    Cocamide Dipa 2 (100%) = 2as
    Decyl Glucoside 2 (55%)  =1.1 as
    Lamesoft 1 (40%) = 0.4 as
    total=12.1 Active surfactant

    I am curious if this combo if it will be overkill with 7 surfactants?

    @Belassi  I agree DLS is not a very effective surfactant. Thank you for the comment on the percentage of Lamesoft PO65, I will reduce it to 1%. For Cocomide Mipa, my appology, it suppose to be Cocamide Dipa.

    @Bill_Toge  Thank you for pointing out the incompatibility of CTAC with anionics, I will find a substitute conditions hair. Do you have any suggestion for hair softening that is suitable for shampoo?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback once the new surfactant combo is ready I will update.
