Hi
I tried making two Cleansing oil Formulation and there is a slight separation down below but not visible too much . I dont know why thats happening . I feel i need to add something small to combine the cleansing oil little more.
Formulation 1
Isohexdecane 50
Mineral oil 12
Triethylhexanoin 10
Isopropyl Isosterate 10
Isosteryl Isosterate 6.5
Polysorbate 80 6.5
Jojoba oil 2
Rose oil 1
Castor oil 2
Vit E 0.3Formulation 2
MTC Oil 27.1
Castor oil 5
Polysorbate 80 5
Isopropyl Isosterate 6.5
Vit E 0.2
Jojoba oil 3.5I feel like I need an emulsifier or something.
What do youll think -

Why not just use oils?

You have a bunch of oils, esters and hydrocarbons with different polarity and Polysorbates as primary emulsifiers at not sufficient concentration. I bet they sink on the bottom. These type of products aren’t easy to make. Keep it simple: C12-15 alkyl benzoate 85%, Polysorbate 80 15%. Also works with CCT and octyldodecanol. You need high polarity esters to make Polysorbates do the job in such a formula.

If I use only oils my formulation stays in the face.
I need something that will take out the makeup and come off from the face too as if it stays the person will have to use another face soap to take it out.
I was trying to make it remove dirt and makeup and come off automatically too.
You have ideas on how to do that? -
I tried C12-15 alkyl benzoate 85%, Polysorbate 80 15%. but the Polysorbate again separated below. Is there another surfactant or emulsifier that can help ?

try adding glyceryl caprylate - it’s a good intermediate between the strictly hydrophobic and the strictly hydrophilic
