Thank you for the reply! Sorry for the newb question, but how do I make a slurry of pearls in an oil? If I could do that, and avoid this whole combining emulsifier mess, that would be awesome. I currently use cromollient alone as the emulsifier in my formula. at about 8% to 10%. How would I combine the glycol stearate with the cromollient - heat both, combine and blend thoroughly?

Also, Herbnerd - where does one find hydrogenated coconut oil? I’m looking at my supplier websites and amazon and such and I’m not finding it. ><

Hydrogenated coconut oil? I’ll check it out. Do you think it would suspend mica without adding too much thickness to the final product? 

And thank you, Bob! Nitpicky is good - I need to know these things. The emulsifier I’m using is Cromollient.

Thanks, guys! I will check both of those out. There’s no surfactant in the cleanser, the majority is an anhydrous oil blend and a much smaller amount of emulsifier. The recipe is in large part fractionated coconut oil, so it has a very thin consistency. I’m hoping to find something that retains clarity and also doesn’t thicken the oil blend up too terribly much.
