Gunther said:Drop the glycerin (or reduce it to claim ingredient levels, 0.01% or so). It does nothing and may leave a sticky afterfeel.
You can try reducing SLES to about 8% active ingredient, using about 28.6% )at 28% concentration).
Thank you..
We can reduce SLES and make a trial batch, but do we need to keep rest ingredients as it is? I mean majorly for CAPB and Na Sarcocinate to be kept as it is or should we increase them to meet 100% final volume. -
Thank you very much all masters for your valuable comments.

Thanks for reply.
SLES (28%)-40
CAPB (32%)-14
Na Sarcocinate (30%)-5
Glycirine -1
EDTA-0.2
Na.Benzoate-0.2
NaOH
Citric Acid -
Gunther said:You can do fine with a SLES + CAPB + tiny amount of salt as a body wash.
To thicken Na lauroyl sarcosinate you’ll need some thickener like Crothix, which greatly increases costs.
For preservatives:
methyl paraben <0.4%
propylparabeb <0.14%
EDTA <= 0.1% works fine and meets EU regulations (AFAIK)
You can use the Sodium paraben salts as they are easier to dissolve, but make sure they don’t interefere with SLES viscosity as they are salts as well.Thank you very much for this valuable suggestion.
We will try accordingly. -
Thank you.
Though Glycerin is used but it is only 0.5%. We have also tried by eliminating Glycerin, still it is slippery after washing.
We have observed that by using Na lauroyl sarcosinate it is difficult to thicken it by NaCl, so we increase pH by TEA and then adjust it up to 5.5 by adding Citric acid, once it is achieved good thickness it self is achieved, no need to add NaCl for further thickening.What preservative can be used for this formulation?
