Cleansing balm
Hi,
I’m creating cleansing balm with 60% oil phase and 3% of CAPB (active matter) . what ingredience do actually work in this type of product?The product must be “natural” so silicones are not accepted. I used squalane and glycerin as active ingredients but will they make any diffrence? -

@Karo_lina This is too vague a question to answer effectively I am afraid. You’ll need to divulge the physical form, all constituents, outcome desired….much more than here. Be advised the term “active ingredients” is confusing for us veteran formulators. What activity is inferred?

sorry for my mistake. At this moment this is what i have:
Olive oil – 15%Gliceryl Stearate SE- 4%Shea butter- 15%Cocoa butter – 10%Cetyl alcohol- 4%Almond oil - 10%Ricinus oil- 6%Squalene – 2%CAPB (30%)- 8 %Xantan gum 0 0,2 %Glycerin- 6%The rest would be water, preservative.I get cream with nice after feel but I’m wondering if i can add something extra to make the skin feel hydrated after wash it.

Consider replacing half of your glycerin with it, or a bit of your olive oil.

try sodium cocoyl glutamate, that’s got a very pleasant after-feel

Should I add this instead of CAPB ?
