Basic Gel Cleanser guide
Hello everyone, its been a journey trying to make a simple gel cleanser and I have no idea what i’m doing wrong. Any basic formulas to follow?
Surfactants on hand:
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
-Polyglucose/Lactylate Blend (Decyl Glucoside (and) Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate)The formulas i’ve created tend to be hazy rather than clear with lots of bubbles that don’t seem to go away. I’d love a step in the right direction on % for a basic formula. Thank you all so much !!

What kind of mixer are you using? If you’re using a stick blender those are not appropriate for a cleanser formula. They draw in too much air.
You can find formulas in the sources listed here.

I have just been mixing by hand but not so much. Its when I add the surfactants that it bubbles up.. maybe its the Cocamidopropyl Betaine? I looked through the formulas but didn’t see a basic recipe for a clear gel cleanser. Thanks for your help (=
