Adjusting Coffee Scrub Formula for Creamy Texture and Easy Wash-off

Subject: Adjusting Coffee Scrub Formula

Hello! I can help you adjust your coffee scrub formula to achieve a creamy/oily texture, make it less harsh, easy to wash off, and moisturizing, while keeping the aroma.

Based on your goals and the formula you provided, I recommend removing the Sodium Chloride (salt). As the staff mentioned, salt can cause compatibility issues with typical emulsifiers and thickeners like Light Cream Maker and Polysorbate 20. Removing salt will simplify the formulation and allow the emulsifiers to work effectively to create a stable, creamy texture that washes off easily. Salt can also be quite harsh and drying, so removing it aligns with your goal of a non-harsh, moisturizing scrub.

Here is a proposed adjusted formula:

• Coffee Scrub (Medium Size) (Product ID 695): 35%
• Water (Distilled) (Product ID 838): 32%
• Sweet Almond Oil (Product ID 121): 10%
• Sucrose (Brown Sugar): 5%
• Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder: 5%
• Polysorbate 20 (Product ID 175): 2.5%
• Light Cream Maker (Product ID 141): 3%
• Perfume (Essential oil): 1%
• Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) (Product ID 65): 0.5%
• Oil Milk (Product ID 858): 6%

Total: 100%

Explanation of Changes:

1. Sodium Chloride (Salt) removed: This eliminates compatibility issues and reduces potential harshness and dryness.
2. Sweet Almond Oil increased (from 7% to 10%): To enhance the oily feel and moisturizing properties.
3. Light Cream Maker increased (from 1% to 3%): To create a more stable and creamy texture.
4. Oil Milk increased (from 5% to 6%): To further aid in emulsifying the oils for easier wash-off.
5. Water adjusted (from 30% to 32%): To balance the percentages after removing salt and increasing other ingredients.

This adjusted formula should provide a creamy, emollient feel that is less harsh on the skin due to the removal of salt. The combination of Polysorbate 20, Light Cream Maker, and Oil Milk will help emulsify the oils, ensuring the scrub washes off easily and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized.

The essential oil is included at 1% for the desired aroma during use. Regarding skin brightening, exfoliation itself helps remove dead skin cells, which can lead to a brighter appearance over time. The moisturizing oils also contribute to healthy, radiant-looking skin.

Please note that the percentages are a starting point and may require slight adjustments based on your desired final consistency and feel.
