  Best surfactant for facial wash gel

  Posted by Cometomy on May 31, 2020 at 6:51 pm

  Im considering to use 3 type of surfactant which is cocamidopropyl butaine 6%, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate 10% and lauryl glucoside (3%).

  is there any other combination of surfactants that works efficiently?

  Nothing is wrong with those but would be hard to thicken. You would probably need either crothix or PEG-150 distearate.

  Carbomers are not electrolyte resistant. CAPB is full of salt. You can use xanthan. It will work but the texture is not going to be pleasant.
