  Emulsifying Cleansing Oil

  Posted by SkincareNYC on March 16, 2018 at 6:27 pm

  Hello everyone, 

  I’m working on a gellified Cleansing Oil for face. 

  My formula contains:
  Synthetic Emollients - Q.S.
  Glyceryl Behenate (and) Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate - 1.0%
  Natural Wax - 3%
  Botanical Oils - 25%
  PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate - 10%
  Tocopherol - 0.1%
  Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate - 3%
  Fragrance oil -1%
  
  I’d like to have makeup removability for the eye area, but it really stings the eyes. Is it the PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate causing the stinging? Is there an way for me to identify surfactants that are compatible for the eye area by their structure?

  Could be that high fragrance as well, just a thought.
