Foaming Oil
Good morning.
My name is Yony, well at least that is how everybody knows me
. I work as formulator for a contract manufacturer and private label in South Florida.
We have some hair oil blends formulas, packaged in 8oz bottles with flip top caps. I was thinking about adjusting the formula to change the delivery system to an oil blend dispensed as a foam, like the liquid hand soap packaged in foam pump bottles. Yeah yeah, I know, maybe a crazy idea to make oils lather, but, challenge is in the air.
An example of the hair oil blend formula:
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil 98.78%
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil 0.03%
Fragance 0.30%
BHT 0.05%
D & C Red # 17 (0.1% in Isopropyl Myristate) 0.06%
D & C Green # 6 (0.1% in Isopropyl Myristate) 0.07%
Isopropyl Myristate 0.68%
Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (and) Aloe Barbadensis Leaf 0.01%
Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (and) Rosa Canina Flower Extract 0.01%
Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (and) Lamium Album Extract 0.01% All ideas all welcome and I would like to thank you in advanced for your help and support. -

Recently I have made a foaming bath oil with Tego Sulfosuccinate DO75 (Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate). You can use MIPA Laureth Sulfate too.

Outstanding idea there @Rimbaud16: good old DOSS, the HI&I formulator’s best friend for decades. Kudos to you for thinking outside the box. Makes one think of all those Gemini surfactants used in HI&I that personal care formulators continue to ignore. A bit heavier on the irritation index, but that is easily resolved in formulation.

Thank you very much for the commented ideas.
Yes, but a foaming bath oil will lather when in contact with water, right? That is not exactly what I am looking for but thank you very much for trying.
My idea is to apply it on dry hair to provide shine and soften the hair.
