    I like to formulate waterfree oil cleanser (face) for myself, family, friends. Is it possible to blend “lots of” oliwac LC with sunflower oil (and other oils) to create a thick cleanser that is easy to wash away? Hopefully adding a bit glycerol and maybe also a few drops of surfactant?

    @tinas  glycerol will need for sure emulsifier ‘surfactant’ to add in oil phase because it is hdrosoluble .

    but Oliwax LC is emulsifier - but maybe not strong enought for emulsify drops of glyserol and maybe a bit lauryl glucoside (thick paste) - that other emulsifier could I add to make a stabile cleanser?
