Question
How can I increase the foam in a liquid body wash formulation for children and adults? I am currently using Sodium Lauroamphoacetate (Mild-Wash). What alternative surfactants can provide more foam, and what adjustments are needed in the formula, especially regarding pH?
Answer
Based on the staff's response, to increase foam in your liquid body wash formulation for both children and adults, you can choose between Coco-Foam (Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine) or Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate. Both of these ingredients are indicated to provide more foam compared to Mild-Wash (Sodium Lauroamphoacetate).
Please note the staff's advice that both Coco-Foam and Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate have a high pH and will require pH adjustment in your formula.
