    johnb, 

    Thanks for the help. Yes I am looking for SLES alternatives. I’m currently using SCI and like the foam profile and conditioning effect. I don’t think it’s enough to replace SLES as far as larger bubbles goes.

    As you know people believe everything on internet. With current trends, i.e. non-sulfate, non-paraben formulations I think it’s necessary to at least examine other non (whatever) surfactant/preservative systems. SLMI sounded like a slam dunk for a SLES replacement so I wanted to give it a shot but it’s hard to get.

    Johnb, thanks. Looks like Sodium Lauryl Methyl Isethionate is different from SCI (I have some of this and like it too). I have read and have seen Sodium Lauryl Methyl Isethionate in various formulations as a SLES ALS replacement which I want to try.

    Anyone know where I can get some Sodium Lauryl Methyl Isethionate for a bench batch?
    I’ve been out of the industry for so long I think many of the people I worked with are probably retired by now for a UL user acceptance.

    Worked in the scale up lab, I think it was a body wash. I remember being told to spray everything with IPA to keep it “sterile”.
