Default Baby Shampoo as Horticultural Soap

animaux wrote in
:

The important part of horticultural soap is the level of fatty acid
it has as its active ingredient.

This is what's in baby shampoo by the brand name:

Johnson's Baby Shampoo - moisturizing formula with honey & vitamin E
water ,PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium
trideceth sulfate, glycerin, PEG-150 disterate, disodium
lauroamphodi-acetate, sodium laureth-13, carboxylate, fragrance,
poly-quaternium-10, honey, tocopherol acetate, tetrasodium EDTA,
quaterium-15,FD&C yellow #6, FD&C yellow #5, FD&C red #4, FD&C red
#33, FD&C blue #1


Which of the above ingredients is a fungicide? Possibly if an uppity
health food store sells one with tea tree oil in it, possibly he is
referring to that. Maybe one of the listed above is from tea tree oil
or neem tree oil.


Honey supposedly has fungicidal (and bactericidal) properties. The rest
of the stuff looks like standard shampoo ingredients (aside from the
vitamin e).
