  help with procedure

  Posted by rayyy on January 3, 2024 at 11:15 am

  hey everyone. I’m working on a cream cleanser. i want to use SCI and CAPB as my surfactants. I melt the sci with capb and that creates a paste. should i add the paste in my water phase before emulsification or after creating the emulsion. I need your help with the procedure. thank you in advance

  I would not make a paste but dissolve the SCI into water FIRST before any other material is added since that may serve as a primary emulsifier. Saves a big step there, right? Now, for the CAPB, that is trickier, you may want to add that slowly during the cool-down thermocline. CAPB is not an emulsifier but does carry free salt so don’t be too surprised if this separates then.
