Face wash Formula Surfactants

o ok great advise thanks!

anyone else have ant possible advise please? Just on my just on my ASM for the face wash i know it should be 10% surfactant matter for the face but as far as the ingredients if anyone has experience with these 2 together?

Wow is it the lack of knowledge on kne of these surfactants thats keeping the “professionals” from weighing in?  I have noticed that there havent been alot answering or replies kn Chemist Corner lately.  Is the website still functioning?

Clearly the forum is functioning, so there may be some other reason you aren’t receiving any responses to your barely a day old post. 

My advice is to try these ideas you have and observe the results rather than asking theoretical questions and expecting the members of this forum to engage in speculation or to create a formula for you. Many of us very knowledgeable about surfactants, and that knowledge came from working with them for years, creating formula after formula, observing the results, then formulating again. I love working with surfactants, and that love arose from a many years of experimentation, which I encourage others to do. 

Please don’t put quotes around “professionals” as it’s insulting. 

Well my dear you may take it how you want to and not everyone in here  is a professional,  other than swlf proclaimed. I think I made  it very clear with the question when stated “has anyone worked with these 2”.  Unless your involving yourself more than you can hndle at once maybe  you were reading a different post.  I dont need anyone to provide me with a formula and i dont need the attitude  either.  If you dont have the experience with these and/or want to answer the question dont engage yourselves in it.  Its very simple.. .Its not science.  Seems to me like some people use this as an outlet to be bitter rather than to help..  I beleive this forum is for the  purpose  of questions and way ins not smart remarks and assumptions!

@Jdawgswife76 - The main reason you aren’t getting many helpful responses is because you haven’t asked specific enough questions.  You said “(I) would like some input on the surfactant usage…” - this is too vague for me to address. What input would you like? What do you want to know? The best I’ve got is yes, use surfactants for face wash. 9% may work or it may be too much. Only you can decide if it’s too much. Is it too drying when you try it? This may or may not be helpful for you so I have no idea if that’s what you want to know.

You also asked “Can anyone provide any opinion or helpful information please?” - Again, this isn’t a specific enough question to get a helpful answer. 

This forum is most useful for getting specific questions answered.

But also, no one is getting paid to post here. Everyone here is being generous with their time & expertise and participate because they either want to learn something or teach something. You may get answers in hours, but it may take a few days to get any responses. Be patient. 

—-to everyone

Please give people the benefit of the doubt. Text is not always an efficient way to communicate exactly what you want to say so something may come off as rude when it wasn’t meant to be.

Do your best to view all comments in a friendly light. And develop a thick skin. No one is trying to make anyone else look stupid, feel bad or become embarrassed. Ask for clarification of what has been said before you get upset and start throwing out insults. 

And thank you for participating in the forum. I appreciate you all hope you find it a helpful, friendly place on the Internet.

Thank you perry! This would have easier in the beginning. My question posted was has anyone has experience with using these 2 together. I stated that I was new to formulating with face washes and would like ANY opinions or assistance. I really do not know how much more specific to ask the question. All i ask is that for the ones in here who read posts and have nothing to contribute, please do not reply with there assumptions and snotty remarks as this will make others not even want to come here seeking advice or opinion.
Thank you for stepping in and clarifying things for EVERYONE!

You don’t get responds because of your attitude. Also if you don’t know who swiftcraftymonkey and call her self proclaimed you are clearly lacking knowledge about formulation world (which is quite small). 

Once again your assumptions are very sad. You know nothing of my formulating skills and I know of Swiftcraftmonkey , as she created a website and charges a monthly subscription to give out formulas and dupe others formulators, yet states on previous post that she encourages everyone to learn by experimenting themselves (which is common sense in this business/hobby) lol. just because I have preferred not to formulate certain things or have had no past interest in them  does not mean that I have no formulating knowledge so please, TRY to keep it professional when replying to posts and it makes you look bad to only waste characters in this blog with unhelpful remarks and assumptions. 
Good Day
