jwahlton Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I believe the recommended is 15%, but don't quote me on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I thought you could add it up to 30% (but don't quote me either). Look on the Chemistry Store's site I know it tells there, I'm just not 100% sure.edited: here's a link, http://www.chemistrystore.com/Sodium_Lauryl_Sulfoacetate.htm (its 10% - 15% here)another says it can be used up to 50% http://www.thesage.com/catalog/Additives.html?mmsID=ab464a2d51c617b91ec582bde0b85609 , towards the bottom under "s", I wouldn't recommend 50% though as its drying and can cause your skin to be irritated.

jwahlton Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think the FDA states up to 15% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 To the best of my knowledge, it used to be 30%, but they have recently changed it to 21%. I never had any luck adding it to my sugar scrub, it got gummy and didn't give the desired effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have added 20% to my scrubs and also found it to be gummy and pastey like. I did not get any lather. I think some oils work against it. I really think fbb is much better, thats all I use now. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yah, it never has worked for ME in scrubs either except to give it a gluey milky look/feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
