mild facial cleanser formulation

Posted by Anonymous on July 2, 2016 at 2:46 pm

Hi all! I want to make a very mild facial cleanser. This is the recipe i am gonna follow and i would like to know your comments:

6% milcoside 301v2 (plantacare 2000)

6% cocamidopropyl betaine

5% aloe vera gel
10% lavender hydrosol

1% hydrolyzed wheat protein

1,5% panthenol

2% glycerin

0.5% chamomile extract

0.5% Germall Plus

up to 100% water
salt for thickening
citric acid to pH 5.5

I ve read on another forum that salt isn’t skin friendly… Is that true?

I don’t think it is likely that salt will have any effect on thickening that formula.

Thank you for your fast response. Thats because of these surfactants?

On another body wash recipe i made with sles 12%, cocamidopropyl betaine 7%, glycerin 3%, geogard 1% and the rest % water, salt (2%) did the job very well…

So crothix will be one way to thicken that mixture? What about Guar Gum or xanthan gum?
