Need help decreasing soaping in serum
Hello,
As the title suggests, im experiencing some soaping in a serum i made. Would like suggestions on how to decrease this without changing the emulsifier, and without using silicones. This is the rough formula without actives. this is a reformulation and they are ok with adding and removing other ingredients.
water 70%
glycerin 5%
xanthan gum 0.2%
behenyl alcohol 2.5%
cetiol oe 2%
squalane 7%
polyglyceryl-10 stearate 2.5%
rosehip oil 2%
Thanks!

You could gradually reduce your emulsifiee, rosehip oil and squalane to a point where you are comfortable with the amount of foam. Also, fix your manufacturing process to also reduce foam.

Reduce behenyl alcohol to 1%

For soap effect may changing emulsifier can be solution or make combination with other one. In general the ratio between emulsifier/oil seems not good (low) even with the presence of xanthan gum.
