Inorganic salts increase the krafft temperature of SLS. If you perform the mixing with high salt concentrations and at low temperatures it will precipitate because of cristallization of SLS. Additionally, microvalent inorganic salts help SLS to form microgel domains.
In order to avoid precipitation try to perform mixing at high temperatures or add PEG. Solving long chain alkyl hydrophobes (branched hydrophobes will be more effective) can helps too but the best way is increasing temperature.
