Cleansing Oil Formulation with Natural Oils and Oilsify Emulsifiers
Question
How can I formulate a cleansing oil using natural oils and Oilsify emulsifiers (Oilsify 15, Oilsify 30, or Oilsify Eco)? What are example formulas and usage instructions?
Answer
Cleansing Oil Formula with Natural Oils
You can create a cleansing oil using natural oils by combining an oil-phase emulsifier with your chosen natural oils.
Products like Oilsify 15, Oilsify 30, or Oilsify Eco are suitable for this purpose. They help the oil phase emulsify with water, allowing it to be rinsed off easily.
A basic formula structure is:
- Oil-phase Emulsifier (e.g., Oilsify 15, Oilsify 30, or Oilsify Eco)
- Natural Oils (e.g., Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, etc.)
- Optional: Preservative (like Phenoxyethanol)
For example, using Oilsify 15 or Oilsify 30, a typical starting point could be around 10-15% emulsifier and the rest as oil. The product descriptions provide examples like:
- Oilsify 15 or Oilsify 30: 15%
- LipidSoft™ Palm (or other oil): 84.8%
- Phenoxyethanol: 0.2%
Using Oilsify Eco, which is a base specifically mentioning natural oils, an example is:
- Oilsify Eco: 10%
- LipidSoft™ Palm: 50%
- Other oils (including natural oils): 40%
You can substitute LipidSoft™ Palm and "Other oils" with your preferred natural oils to reach 84.8% or 90% of the formula, depending on the emulsifier used.
How to Use:
Massage the cleansing oil onto dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities. Then, add a little water and continue massaging; the oil will turn milky. Rinse thoroughly with water.
