Thank you very much for suggesting so many alternatives! I will get to testing which one will affect the viscosity the least.

Thank you for your reply! It should have conditioning and carring properties for woolen clothes.
I know that 1,4-dioxane is present in traces (and possibly could not be harmful on skin, main concern is oral exposure I think), problem is ethoxylation itself. This laundry gel is going to be under strict certification, which is concerned about ethylene oxide contact with workers who produce this raw material.
So in this case it is not primarly about customer, but ethylene oxide toxicity (both for workers and environment).

Thank you very much for the recommendation!
Problem is ethoxylation…
I have got Glyceryl Oleate for shampoo formula, but never thought about using it for laundry gel, I’ll give it a try 🙂
Also using emulsifier for lanolin before adding to the water could maybe work?

Thank you very much for the useful info 🙂 I will try to replace the most of GLDA with citrate, I hope the viscosity stays the same.
