Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Dishwash Preperation

    Greeting All,
    I have formulated a liquid Dishwash. Following is the conposition
    Aqua 60%
    Sles. 30%
    Capb. 5%
    Citric acid ( for chelation) 1%
    Mp and pp 1%
    Perfume trace
    Salt 1%
    I want to make a dishwash that moisturize as well. In a patent there is provided the use of cationic Polymer along with a humectant.
    My question are

    1) can we incorporate cationic polymer when we are already using Anionic Surfactant. If it is possible then which cationic polymer should be in there ?

    2) Can lactic acid be used to provide Antibacterial as well as humectant properties ?

    Supracare 425 from Dow Chemicals should help you for moisturization, it’s a a high MW PEG polymer, as for lactic acid I have heard about it but not sure why and how much you would need that. It is anyway a dish wash detergent and it’s just a new gimmick, severe shortage of novel ideas here.

    Chemist77 this superare 425 is not available at my Location. But Silicones are available. In a patent, polyquaterniums are suggented. Can I use these when my formulation contains Anionic Surfactant ?

    Why don’t you try and see then, but for polyquats I am not that hopeful since this preparation is strongly anionic.
