All natural serum and oil cleanser formulation
Hello,
Trying to come out with an all natural anti aging serum and face wash
I really wanted to use Rosehip oil until I learned it oxidizes quickly. I’d hate to only put a shelf like of no more than 6 months on the 2 products. But I really love the benefits
These were my thoughts so far.
Face wash: rosehip oil, castor oil, vanilla and frankincense resin infused jojoba oil, Decyl glucoside
Serum: Bakuchioil
Rose hip oil
Sea buckthorn oil
Jojoba infused with Frankincense resin, Hibiscus & Elderflower
I wanted to keep this very natural can I just add Mixed Tocopherols to both to help lengthen the shelf life?

water?

This is why “natural” is a horrible term and one people should further define and qualify. Decyl Glucoside? (see Perry’s multiple posts about surfactant trees). Don’t let a horrible marketing term limit your performance. You are missing many opportunities to improve the Formula while remaining compliant with US Natural and Retailer standards.

Isnt decyl glucoside biodegradable, non- toxic, non-carcinogenic, and non- allergic and safe for skin? It was more for the attracting impurities and removing them from the skin surface when used with water.

Safety is your responsibility - and there is no “non-” re the toxicology endpoints identified above.
Do you think a preservative may be needed?
What definition of “natural” are you using? Decyl glucoside may be naturally derived but is still a product of chemical synthesis.

Regarding hypoallergenic claims:
In an effort to shine light on new, emerging, and/or repurposed allergens, the American Contact Dermatitis Society annually announces an allergen of the year. The Contact Allergen of the Year for 2017 is alkyl glucoside. Alkyl glucosides include several compounds, including decyl, lauryl, cetearyl, and coco glucosides.

Decyl glucoside was given the dubious award of “Allergen of the Year” in 2017. It is certainly not an allergy free ingredient!
Just one other important point - Decyl Glucoside is not “natural”. There are no plants or animals that naturally produce decyl glucoside. It is a synthetic molecule dreamed up by clever, human chemists. Some natural standards may recognize it as “natural” and indeed it may be derived from natural ingredients, but it, just like pretty much all cosmetics, is not “all natural”. It’s a synthetic chemical creation.
