Posted by Chirag on May 30, 2015 at 5:49 am

Hi, i have been trying to creat liquid hand wash..and i have prepared a hand wash with following ingredients in listed proportion-
Aqua. 300ml
SLES 150ml
SLS. 10gm (powder)
Cmc. 10gm. (Powder)
cocamide DEA 9ml
CAPB. 30ml
Egms. 9 gm
Glycerin. 9ml
Nacl. 5 gm
Colour and perfume. (In small pro.)

Would you please suggest if there is any possibility to improve its detergency, sudsing, conditioning, moisturising effects ?

Is there some reason that you can’t design and run the experiments yourself?

Yes, there are a great many. No one chemical can do everything you are requesting, though. Do some research, and I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you have.

I have used CMC in my formulation. I have noticed that it Takes long time in dissolving in water. Would anyone suggest me any idea for the uper mentioned purpose. Also, same thing i have noticed with SLS POWDER.

hi shirag what you can do is dissolve in glycerin or any oil the CMC and sls (depends on what grade ur sls is) and than u mix. anyway CMC is a thickning agent and makes ur soap cloudy. you dont need CMC to thicken you need to correct your formula sles and water and you will get a thick soap sir

Rosabell yes CMC does make it cloudy. Actually i wanted to use HPMC but as i dint get it at my location, i was guided to use cmc instead. As hpmc has exceptional properties in liquid soap, so… Any way thanks

@rosabell i used CMC to boost foam and make foam denser. I took 9 ml glycerin and then I dissolved 20gm of SLS powder then i added sles and water but still there were lumps of SLS powder… What should i do.. Any suggestion would be welcomed.

CMC doesn’t boost foam like HPMC does; if anything, it’s more likely to kill it

I have used Glycerin but it is soluble in water so it may Be washed away with water. Can i use any oil to give moisturizing effect. What is OLIVE OIL used for in hand senitizers ?
Can glycol stearate can be used to provide moisturizing effect ?

Why not obtain and use a commercially available 30% solution of SLS instead?
