  Formulating a cleansing gel +allergic reaction on the cheek

  Posted by Ghita37 on April 13, 2023 at 7:24 am

  Hi everyone.

  I formulated an extra rich cleansing gel that i have been testing for the past week twice a week and today to my surprise i saw like an allergic reaction/ like some kind of pigmentation on my face after using it

  Here are the ingredients i have used

  Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Glycerin, Glyceryl Oleate, Polyquaternium-7, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG/PPG-120/10 Trimethylolpropane Trioleate, Saccharide Isomerate, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Sodium Citrate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, CI 42090.

  Can someone please tell me which of these ingredients might be the culprit?Also is it possible for a product to cause an allergy after two weeks and not before?

  Thanks a lot for your feedback

  How many time had you used it in two weeks?

  What is the pH and how much phenoxyethanol is there?

  It might be contaminated.
