  • Body Wash texture coarse with Oil

    Posted by Abu-Hafss on November 18, 2024 at 12:14 pm

    I am working on a creamy body wash with 5-8% oil. Initially using coconut oil, later will switch to almond oil and/or grapeseed oil. The problem is that I am getting coarse texture. I have tried different combinations of various surfactants but could not get smooth texture.

    I have been using 1-2% GDS with 0.5-1% Emulsifying Wax as emulsifiers.

    My approach is completely different. I have formulated and produced since 2006 a body wash by saponifying a range of plant oils. And by modifying my saponification calculations, a small amount of the oils remain un-saponified, thus achieving a similar effect you are talking about.

    I manufactured and exported my body wash range globally, plus a range of Private Label body wash. These were very popular products and a great money earner.
