    Too much perfume & pearling agent
    1% DEA IS SUFFICIENT
    Reduce the PEG 400

    HEC Is not compatible with some surfactants, use 20% salt solution,
    It is uncommon to have thickening problem on shower gel as it has high active matter on the formulation.

    To Neutralize LABSA 96%;
    USE 12.8% Of the quality of LABSA
    For 100kg LABSA = 12.8 kg caustic soda 99% to ph 7.
    For 10 kg LABSA= 1.28 kg caustic soda

    Use EDTA as;
    1. Chelating agent
    2. Preservative
    3. foam booster
    why you use too much fragrance for Dishwash? Just 0.05% is enough.

    The amounts of active ingredients is very low to obtain your desired results.
    SLES improve the clarity and stability of the formula.
    The minimum active ingredients at least;
    SLES 28%= 0.28 x 15 Ai =4.2
    LABSA 90%= 0.9 X 19 AI =  13.5

    This is a good recipe 
    Water balance TO 100
    Caustic soda 99% 1.3
    LABSA 96%             12
    SLES 70%                7
    DEA                           2
    STPP                       1.5
    SALT                        1.5
    EDTA                        0.2
