Amisoft surfactant thickening

[Guest guest]

Good Morning,

I'm currently playing with Ajinomoto's Amisoft surfactants. I've noticed alot of

my customers (despite my giving them information to the contrary) believe that

Laureth Sulfates and Betaines are bad and do not want to use them. So, I have

some samples from Ajinomoto that I want to formulate liquid soaps, shampoos,

shower gels, etc.. I've had much success using other Ajinomoto's products such

as Eldew, Ajidew and Prodews so I'm sure once I figure out my problem I'll be

very happy! Anyway, my problem is, what is the best way to thicken formulations

using the Amisofts? I've listed the ones I have on hand below. Is Carbomer/TEA

good or Natrosol better? Or with these surfactants, is it a matter of what I

want my end result to be? I do like the foaming capabilities with these and the

fact they are all basically low irritation.

Thanks!
