    Since it is soap based so why you add 12% SLES ? In a face wash formulation surfactants should be less than 10% .
    Do you make your potasium soap base  first ?

    So you can first make liquid castile soap base with KOH , Olive Oil and some castor oil and coconut oil . Have you ever made liquid castile soap ?

    So formulate with mild sufactants like Sarcosinate , Cocoglucoside , AOS , CAPB , SLES etc. To thicken you can add xanthane gum . Add glycerine as moisturiser and some vitamin E oil .
