Formulation Surgras cleansing gel
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share an experience I recently had while formulating a surgras cleansing gel. I used the following ingredients: Aqua (40%) Jordapon SCI (6%) Glycerine (10%) Polyquaternium 10 (0.1%) Arlypon TT( 2%) Cocoglucoside (8%) PEG40 (2%) PEG7 Glyceryl cocoate (2%) Citric acid (0.05%) LAMESOFT® PO 65 (0.1%), Brown Sugar (3%): sugar is used to color the product;
Initially, the gel was perfectly transparent. However, after 2 to 3 days, I noticed that the product started to lose its transparency. I’m curious if anyone else has encountered this issue and if you have any suggestions on how to maintain the gel’s transparency over a longer period.
Additionally, I would appreciate any advice on how to make the product more moisturizing.
Thank you so much

perhaps it needs a preservative.

It could also be your SCI. It is usually recommended for opaque formulations.
SLMI (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate) is recommended for clear formulations.
Agree about needing a preservative.

It is due to PQ10. Without it, the gel will become transparent.

There are clear cleansers with PQ-10 on the market. I also agree with SCI being responsible. Perhaps you could add some CAPB. Also, Glycerine is not needed in that formula and it will impair your foam.

You are right, but I have had such a formula. Based on my experience, it is due to PQ10. I excluded it and the problem was solved. I do not know the reason. Maybe it is precipitated when using SCI.
