Glycolic/salicylic cleanser
Hi everyone
I am requested to create a facial cleanser (not a cream cleanser) with 17% glycolic and 3% salicylic . I tried several trials using several surfactants and gums, but can’t seem to reach a stable thickened formula. I am struggling to thicken it. I was trying in the pH range of 4 - 4.5. I would appreciate if someone suggests a blend of surfactants that works with such high load of acids and how to thicken them. N.B. I work for a contract manufacturer, so that’s a client request. While I know that this is such high acid content, I still have to do it
I have access to the below surfactants:
SLES
Ammonium lauryl sulphate
Coco glucoside
decyl glucoside
CAPB
sodium lauroamphoactetate
sodium lauryl sarcosinate
sodium cocoyl glutamate
sodium stearoyl glutamate
I also have access to : xanthan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, ultrez 20, sepimax zen, lecigel
TIA

Supposed that a lot of listed thickeners works in this pH range.

they suspend, but separate within couple of days
