Surfactant micelles cause increased concentration of the ionic moiety (undissociated active) of the SB in the water/phase which can, depending upon the type and concentration of the SAA alter the PKa. The value of the latter has to be determined by experiment

Research which I co-led established the Company Try it one one of your difficult compounds.

So I would say I did both until retiring from JNJ in 1995 when I Founded consulting company in Personal Care (still doing both).

Most if not all goes down the drain so lower it as necessary if indeed it it is the culprit.Do a knockout to verify

You are most welcome Good luck
