Answer
Sulfate Free Shampoo Base Information
Regarding your questions about Sulfate Free Shampoo Base:
Charge: This shampoo base is a blend of cleansing agents (surfactants), including amphoteric surfactants like Coco Betaine. Amphoteric surfactants can have different charges depending on the pH, but the base itself does not have a single, fixed positive or negative charge like simple ionic compounds. It is designed to be gentle and effective for cleansing.
Maximum Extract Percentage: The product description states that nourishing ingredients can be added to the formula as needed. However, it does not specify a maximum percentage for adding extracts such as kaffir lime, gotu kola, or ginger. You should follow the recommended usage rate for each specific extract you are using and perform stability and compatibility testing to ensure the final product is stable and performs well.
