Question

I have a cleansing water formula containing PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (Makeup-Wash) and PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (coco-wash) at 10% each. Do I need to add Poloxamer 124 and Poloxamer 184 to improve makeup removal efficacy?

Answer

Based on the staff's response, your current cleansing water formula already contains high concentrations (10% each) of effective cleansing agents, namely PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (Makeup-Wash) and PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate. These ingredients at these concentrations are considered sufficient for effective makeup removal. Therefore, adding Poloxamer 124 and Poloxamer 184 is likely not necessary to improve makeup removal efficacy.
