Liquid Hand Wash
Hi,
Hope the chemist corner family is safe and doing well.I writing to get a possible solution of problem which I am facing in formulating Liquid Hand Wash.
The problem is when I wash my hands the foam doesn’t get over or you can say the soap still remains, even after rinsing my hand for 4-5 times in running tap water. The ingredients which I am using for 1 Litre Formulation are:
SLES (28%) 185 grams
CAPB ( Coco Betaine). 10 grams
Salt ( For Thickness) 35 grams
Glycrine. 2 grams
EDTA. 1 grams
Methylparaben 0.17 grams
Perfume. 2 ml
Colour. 1 ml
Water. 763.8 -

@yash42440 actually your formulation seems acceptable may I guess that the problem is from the quality of your ingredients.

Ok…@Fekher thanks for you inputs.
-
please explain about the quality of ingredients.
Thanks! -
I had that same problem before. The culprit in my opinion is the coco betaine. I added CDEA and a little bit of Coco Betaine (around 1% to 2%) in my formulation. Everything went well so far.

Thanks for reply..I am also adding CAPB 1%. So what you suggest. Should I remove capb completely from the formulation ?

@yash42440, don’t remove the CAPB, because it makes your product more foamy. You could lower it to 1% then add 1% to 2% CDEA. If this does not address the issue of soapiness even after rinsing a couple of times, try removing the glycerine.
Still, if it doesn’t solve the problem, try this formula
94g LABSA
26g CDEA
862mL Water
1g EDTA
1g Methyl Paraben
1g Perfume/Scent
2g Salt
12.5g NaOH
0.5mL colorant
(Total yield of 1Liter)
