  • @emma1985 I made a couple of makeup removers in this format. What worked pretty well is using non polar oil (in my case I used D5 and isododecane in another formula) and add 1-1.5% of NaCl to the waterphase. My water phase was rather simple (preservative, some basic humectants, salt and dye). You probably can do something similar just keep oil phase low. In makeup removers it’s close to 50/50. I saw surfactants in some of those formulas but in my experience they might partially emulsify and you will end up with cloudy product. Also type of bottle you use matters. Some types of plastic ‘catch’ droplets and it doesn’t look nice

    Hi Emma, I’m currently doing this bi layer makeup remover. My water phase is rather more or less like yours with 2% salt and I’m using D5 additional of mineral oil or rice bran oil. Both formulation can separate nicely back to 2 layers but it took 1 day to completely separate. Is there any way I can make the separation faster?
