Cleansing Milk’s formulating challenge
Hi, would like to seek advise on formulating cleansing milk. I would like to formulate texture similar to product available in the market, with it’s ingredient list:
Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Pantolactone, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid.
however, my formulation below seems do not work out as the viscosity increase as well as it turns pearlised in the accelerated temperaturen.
Water, Propylene Glycol 3%, Cetearyl Alcohol 3%, Cetyl Alcohol 2.5%, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate 3%, Polysorbate 60 .5%, Xanthan Gum 0.2%, Tetrasodium EDTA 0.1%, Parfum, MIT MCIT preservative, Citric Acid.
Any advise how this happen and how should i work on it?

I think Xanthan Gum and Panthenol is less than 1% in first formula so your surfactant should be ≤1% too.

I agree with @abdullah. The first product is not really an emulsion. You can remove from your formula Ceyl alcohol and the Polyorbate, and start tesring with 0.5% of your anionic surfactant.

Even with a relevant pH, think benzoate alone is a risky preservative system.
