1. This looks like the kind of product I would see on ETSY made by an individual. Why? One reason: the “preservative” (grapefruit seed extract). It is not a proper preservative. The real reason why the product doesn’t go “off” is almost certainly that the other components are supplied in a preserved state.

2. This is a sulphate-free formulation. I do not see any thickener in there. Either the LOI is incomplete or the shampoo is like water.

3. No idea what “coco coco protein” might be.

4. All those extracts are a waste of money in a rinse-off product. Better in the conditioner.

To answer your questions:

 

is it best to make my own surfactant, or buy a ready-made base?

- if you want a sulphate-free shampoo you will probably have to design and test your own, it depends to a large degree what surfactants you have available in your area. For instance I have a local Kao Chemicals distributor who also is one of my fragrance suppliers, so I use a Kao product as my primary surfactant.

There are bases available I believe, but none in my country for sure. One item I found of probable interest to you was Plantasil Micro. (Dicaprylyl ether, decyl glucoside and glyceryl oleate.) the oleate gives a refattening action. There’s also Plantapon LGC Sorb (alquil glucoside). I have that and it’s OK but I don’t use it because I have better-performing surfactants available. 

If you don’t necessarily need a sulphate free formula then I highly recommend Plantarem APB an ALS/ALeS/lauryl glucoside and DEAL all-purpose blend. Very mild indeed and terrific foam and easy to thicken. An alternative, similar, Texapon KD SO3. It’s great for shampoos, body wash and hand soaps.

“More moisturizing” - add glycerin or Glucam E20

Surfactants, short for surface-active agents, are chemical compounds that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as a liquid and a solid or a liquid and a gas. 

Surface-active agents, or surfactants, are essential to formulating cosmetics, detergents, and soaps. Surfactants have hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, enabling them to disperse, emulsify, and stabilize mixtures of immiscible substances like oil and water.
