Bubble clay mask formula
Dear all,
Just a regular pharmacist learning new things re: cosmetic formulations!
I recently looked into clay mask formulation and came across a Korean brand that offers a ‘bubble clay mask’ first time Ive ever heard of it.
Below is their LOI:
Water, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Kaolin, Bentonite, Disiloxane, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Propanediol, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids, Laminaria Japonica Powder, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Undaria Pinnatifida Sporophyll Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Capryl/Capramidopropyl Betaine, Hexylene Glycol, Cellulose Gum, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Decylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Trehalose, Butylene Glycol, Totarol, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Bioflavonoids, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Canola Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Betaine, Ascorbic Acid, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Raffinose, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycine, Glutamine, Lysine, Cysteine, Arginine, Inositol, Histidine, Dimethicone
I have a few questions if anyone can please help me understand,
1) Which ingredient(s) in this product can cause the bubbling when mixed with water?2) Why do they add so many different solvents/penetration enhancers eg. Butylene glycol, Propanediol, Hexylene glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Methylpropanediol.
My guess is that they use it to dissolve some of the natural oils in the product?
Theres a product called Dermosoft OMP which contains “Methylpropranediol, Caprylyl glycol” is this only used as a preservative? Or does it have multiple functions? (Eg, solvent, penetration enhancer)Thank you everyone! Appreciate any answers!
