thank you Perry!
-
which other anionic surfactant would you recommend? SCI didn’t dissolve in my previous formula.
-
this is very valuable information thank you so much for sharing!
-
ok I haven’t had this info before. So I have to recalculate the formula and add an extra anionic surfactant ? to get asm 13%.
-
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate - SLSA
Do you think that using this surfactant mixing with water, the end result must be clear???
-
it becomes not transparent at the beginning when I dilute the powder slsa to water.
-
I didn’t mention the process. I first warm water up to 40degrees celsius. Then I add the SLSA until it is fully dissolved. Then add cocobetaine stir. Then decyl glucoside- stir. And then the other ingredients one by one.

hello there again!!
So a little update!! I replaced the SCI with a different sulfate free surfactant SLSA and we recalculated the shampoo formula.
So I thought to post my current formula here to tell me what you think:SHAMPOO TO 100g
slsa 13%
cocobetaine 10%
decyl glucoside 2%
preservative 1%fragrance 1%
keratin proteins 2%
polyquat-7 1%
water 70%Cleaniness is good.
It is not transparent- it turns to a white-type product probably because of the powder SLSA. but color is not my main issue here..
The issue is viscosity. It turns out very liquidy…Do you think I should replace the polyquat-7 with crothix and which percentage?
Thank you for the help!

Thank you #seaberry for your answer. I have read in many books about sodium chloride but there are some articles with shampoos counting sodium chloride with low stability. That was the main concern- I would like my batches to have a year shelflife.

thank you all for your answers! I will consider the facts and try to evolve further your precious knowledge at my work.

Thank you all the answers. The reason I use oils- the traditional way- is that my clients want a natural (as far as it gets) liquid soap.
Let’s say that we can’t change the pH to less than 9, what about the other properties that I mentioned?
do you think that if I add an amphoteric surfactant, an anionic one, xantan gum or a chellant and preservative I could potentially retain the odor and color and produce a little more foam?Thank you again for you responses.
