    I have just been mixing by hand but not so much. Its when I add the surfactants that it bubbles up.. maybe its the Cocamidopropyl Betaine? I looked through the formulas but didn’t see a basic recipe for a clear gel cleanser. Thanks for your help (=

    @ngarayeva001Thank you for your feedback.Whats the name of the emulsifier ? I’m still new to the abbreviation . haha ! have you tried Cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20 blend? 

    I have removed all extracts and kept the basic formula and its the same.

    @BelassiThank you so much !I think i’ve been using way to high of a percentage for peptides. thank you for the tip on adding when formula is cold, i was adding them when it was still a little warm .

    @ngarayeva001 Have you had success with Ritamulse(Ecomulse)? I have that as well.

    Soaping is almost definitely from Olivem at 4% but like @jemolian said silicone should take care of it. 

    I’m also wondering about the watermelon powder, how concentrated is it? ex if I used 200x aloe powder at 1% I would certainly expect stickiness. I’ll be really surprised if your allantoin is dissolving fully given how many other powders you have to dissolve.

    The watermelon powder on the site Formulatersampleshop.com does not say how concentrated it is but that you can use it 0.5%-5% in formulations. For the allantoin it takes a little bit of heating up to dissolve it.

    @jemolian tysm ! I thought 5% might have been high with the amount of glycerin based extracts. would you happen to know a more natural based type of silicone besides dimethicone ?
