    Have you found anything of those surfactans in powder? I can just find CAPB from China.

    it does. Maybe the rubbing alcohol I had access too wasn’t pure as claimed.

    I am for about 7 pH. Any suggestion about pH? Thank you!

    Well, it’s a concentrate that you dissolve in tap water. Do you think using chelator might resolve the problem? What’s the best chelator and how much to use?

    MGDA would be ok?

    I have tried using Betaine (maybe not the best source), but I think it didn’t help. Even more, the foam got worse 🙁

    The seller claimed it’s like 96%+ Betaine. I will try to get it from another source.

    Plus this Betaine I got has a funny, kind of unpleasant smell. Do you think it’s ok?

    Maybe those 4% are making it don’t work properly.

    Yes, it would be best to achieve the option of powder refillis that you can dissolve at home in tap water.

    I aim around 5-6ph and also using MGDA as a chelating agent 🙂

    Thank you for that reply!

    It would prefer to have refills that dissolve in water. I was thinking about the mix of sodium benzoate and gluconolactone (about 0,3% in total), but it could be too little. I have heard that sodium benzoate might be harsh for the skin. Maybe I would add also Phenoxyethanol.

    I will definitely try Betaine, but if you have any other suggestions that would be so great! 🙂

    By increasing betaine you meant: Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco Betaine or Betaine? 🙂

    Betaine sounds like a great idea. I will definitely try it.

    The problem with starch or tapioca is that it doesn’t dissolve enough in water. I am considering using it with foam pump, so undissolved parts would be sticking the pump (like SCI)

    Even if the input of CAPB and SLS would be rather small? Like 1% SLS and 1% CAPB?

    THe point is to use as little CAPB as possible in this formulation. Thank you!
