Answer

Regarding your question about adding Glycerin 99.5% to cleansing oil:

  • Can Glycerin 99.5% be added to Cleansing Oil?
    Glycerin 99.5% cannot be directly added to cleansing oil because Glycerin is not miscible with oil.
  • If yes, what is needed to emulsify oil and Glycerin?
    Since Glycerin does not mix with oil, there isn't a standard emulsifier used for this specific combination in a cleansing oil context.

However, our company will have a new product available next month that can be used as a substitute for Glycerin in oil-based formulas. This new ingredient can mix directly with oil without the need for an emulsifier and provides a good skin feel in oil-based formulations.
