    You can introduce dimethicone just inside SLES itself and stir slowly. Then after you can add this mixture into the main vessel. The final viscosity is very important at least you need to get 5000-10000cp

    It’s 2-in-1 technology. The keys are the drop size of the Dimethicone obtained by shear stress and crystallization of GDS in the emulsion.

    Add SXS to increase solubility of Labsa salt in water if you really need such high %.

    It is not a matter of simply adding a Preservative ingredient to a formula.  It’s hurdle technology that includes chelating agents, glycols/diols to reduce water activity and bacteriocides and fungicides that are compatible with the formula.

    I second it!

    Yes, phenoxyethanol should be combined with other preservatives, ethylhexylglycerin or benzisothiazolin, both work in wide pH range. You may need to add a chelant to boost its activity.  
    Remember for soil cleaning/degreasing detergent works best at alkaline pH. So not sure if you want to sacrifice your dishwashing performance to have sodium benzoate in the formula.

    Agree, neutralize LABS first then add SLES. You can use phenoxyethanol which is effective in wide range of pH

    18.2% Salt? If so it is way too much
