Decyl Glucoside
Does a little of Decyl Glucoside will make a lot of foam? I’m using it in my two-phased makeup remover and when I shake the bottle, the foam wont settle and stay as a foam between the water and oil phase.
Here’s a rundown:
A. Water-qs
Glycerine-3
Propylene Glycol-3
EDTA-0.5
TEA-0.5
Euxyl PE-0.3
Colorant-0.2B. Isododecane-15
TSF 405-15
Decyl Glucoside-0.3
Fragrance-0.2Should I lower the % of Decyl? Should I heat the mixture? Should I mix it in the water phase? Im running out of options.

Try one batch without it, should give you an idea. That TSF 405 foams too, and that could be the source as well since 15% is indeed a high dosage.
-
Really? I didnt know TSF 405 foams. Any alternative to the “oil phase”. Before, I used dimethicones but the feeling is warm when applied. So Ive come up with this.
-
I have tried without the surfactant. Didnt remove all of the water proof makeups.
-
Well I have seen it in antiperspirants and similar products, again everything changes as per the formula. Have a knockout done with that formula of yours.

I have tried it but it didnt remove all the makeups. A cleansing agent will be good in makeup removers to remove all makeups, or so I thought? Plus when I shake it (to mix the water and oil phase), glittery-like stuff appears. I’ll upload a picture when I make one again. I just run out of raw materials.
There’s an ingredient to remove waterproof makeups. I’ve read it somewhere in an article. I forgot its name. It’s in the tip of my tongue and is giving me headache. Haha
Oh I forgot, I’m using a surfactant/cleansing agent because my benchmark has a surfactant but it is the end of the ingredients list, so it has the least %, that is why I came up with that % of surfactant. My benchmark dont have a colorant and fragrance.

A 20% dilution approximately of DC CE 0101 with other things thrown in should do the trick for you. Have used the same for my make up remover wipe solution.
-
try using a cationic instead of decyl glucoside, and add it to the water phase
-
You only need a small amount of wetting agent,a nonionic like Span 80 replacing the DC in oil phase
-
If Bill’s idea works, you could try Lubrizol’s Dehyton AB1 which is CAPB but with an extra cation.
-
@Bill_Toge why cationic?
-
@Lainee they generate a lot less foam than alkyl polyglucosides, and from my experience with two-phase mouthwash and makeup removers, they result in clean and prompt phase separation even when included at very low levels (i.e. < 0.1% w/w)

how about nonionic surfactants ?
