Gentle, SLS-Free Body Wash Formulation Guidance

You're looking to create your own gentle, SLS-free body wash similar to the Khaokho Talaypu mangosteen product you've been using, especially since you have sensitive skin and react to fragrance and SLS. You also want a product that lathers better than the original and is more cost-effective to make in larger quantities. You already have several mild surfactants: AminoWash (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate), cocowash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate), make up wash (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides), Coco Betaine (Cocamidopropyl Betaine), and Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate).

The Khaokho product likely uses a traditional soap base made from saponified oils, which is why it has less foam and a higher pH that can sometimes be irritating. The surfactants you have are excellent choices for creating a mild, skin-friendly body wash with better lather.

Here's some information about the surfactants you have and how you can use them:

• AminoWash (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate): This is a very gentle, amino acid-based anionic surfactant. It produces a soft, creamy foam and is known for its mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It can be used as a primary or secondary surfactant.
• Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate): This is another mild anionic surfactant that creates a rich, creamy lather and is very stable. It works well in combination with other surfactants to boost foam and improve the overall feel of the product.
• Coco Betaine (Cocamidopropyl Betaine): This is an amphoteric surfactant often used as a co-surfactant. It helps to boost foam, improve viscosity, and reduce the irritation potential of anionic surfactants. It's a common ingredient in gentle cleansing products.
• cocowash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate): This is a nonionic surfactant and emollient. It's often used as a superfatting agent in body washes to help condition the skin and prevent dryness. It doesn't contribute much to lather but helps improve the feel and mildness of the formula.
• make up wash (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides): This is a nonionic surfactant and solubilizer, often used in micellar waters or cleansing oils. While gentle, it's typically used for removing makeup or oils and may not be the primary choice for creating a high-foaming body wash base compared to the other surfactants you have. It could potentially be used in a small amount for its emollient properties.

To create a body wash with good foam and mildness, you can combine these surfactants. A common approach is to use a primary anionic surfactant (like AminoWash or Creamy Foamer) with a co-surfactant (like Coco Betaine) and potentially a superfatting agent (like cocowash).

You would then add water, a preservative, and adjust the pH to be skin-friendly (typically between 5.0-6.0) using an acid like Citric Acid. You can also add a thickener if you prefer a more viscous product.

To incorporate the cooling effect, add Water-Cool™ at the recommended usage rate during the cooling phase of your formulation.
