FOAM?

Posted by JD on August 25, 2014 at 12:35 am

Hi,

Out of these three things, what will enhance my foam in this cleanser?
1. Glycerine
2, Macadamia nut oil
3. Capric…triglyceride

I am using a poly glucose lactylate blend.

Thanks

The three ones, actually, can decrease the volume of your foam.

@Kfox,

@pma is correct. All three of your choices will depress/destroy foaming ability, with the severity being concentration-dependent.

Foam is usually enhanced or boosted only by surfactants, or materials that have some surfactant characteristics.
