Tips

Anionic surfactants are said to clean better than nonionic surfactants (no charge) because anionic surfactants use a negative charge to remove oil and dirt from the surface of skin and hair.

Anionic surfactants

Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate (aka GentleFoam SCG) [Ecocert/NPA approved]
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (aka BabyFoam SCI)
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (aka EasyFoam)



Nonionic surfactants

Polyglucose/Lactylate Blend (can be combined with mild anionic surfactants)
Decyl glucoside
Coco Glucoside (can be combined with anionic surfactants)

Tips

DON'T use xanthan gum with any version of BTMS! These two ingredients apparently hate each other's guts. You may notice what looks like white streaks all throughout your product.

Xanthan gum is incompatible with cationic emulsifiers like BTMS-25 and BTMS-50.
