Adapting a Cleansing Oil Formula with Olive Oil

Based on the product information, ClearClean™ is a thickening agent designed for water-based products like shampoos and liquid soaps. It works by creating a gel texture in aqueous systems and is not suitable as an emulsifier for an oil cleansing product that needs to rinse off with water.

To create a cleansing oil or oil cleansing gel that can be washed away with water, you need ingredients that can effectively emulsify or bind the oil with water. The example formula provided by the staff is a good approach for this type of product.

In the staff's example formula:

• Olive Oil (or any oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil) is the primary oil phase that dissolves makeup and impurities.
• MakeUp-Wash™ and Coco Wash™ are gentle surfactants that help the oil mix with water, allowing it to be rinsed clean from the skin.
• Sugar Gel acts as an oil gellant and also helps to emulsify the oil and water phases, creating the gel texture and enabling the product to rinse off.
• Glycerin and water are also included in the formula.

Therefore, you should not use ClearClean™ as the emulsifier. Instead, you can adapt the staff's example formula by using Olive Oil as the oil component and including emulsifying/gelling agents like Sugar Gel along with surfactants like MakeUp-Wash™ and Coco Wash™ to ensure the product rinses effectively. You would follow the mixing instructions provided for Sugar Gel to create the oil gel texture.

To create a rinseable Olive Oil cleansing product, follow a formula structure that includes an oil phase (your Olive Oil), suitable surfactants (like MakeUp-Wash™ and Coco Wash™), and potentially an oil gellant/emulsifier like Sugar Gel, along with any other desired ingredients like humectants (e.g., Glycerin) and water.
