It looks like ultimately we will need to switch to surfactants that have the same preservative as our final product. I guess its time to start asking suppliers.

I was mistaken, It was DeWolf, not BASF. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

BASF standapol A, formaldehyde was listed between 0.1 and 1%.
Honestly? I get it, all these things need some kind of preservative to prevent micro-organisms from growing in them. My issue is with the fact that formaldehyde is the preservative. It is my strong opinion that formaldehyde has no place being used in any products that contact living human tissue.
Are there safer alternatives? -
It is irresponsible to use any amount of formaldehyde in any product that comes into contact with living tissue. Formaldehyde is an embalming agent and extremely toxic. It surprises me that the use of this preservative in cosmetic products hasn’t been blown up by the news media.
Do you have any suggestions for alternative preservatives for ammonium lauryl sulfate?
