Clear Liquid Hand Soap Formula Base

To create a clear liquid hand soap for a pump bottle, you can use a ready-made soap base and mix it with water and other necessary ingredients. Here are some suitable bases:

• SweetWash™ Hand (Hand Wash Foaming Base): This base is specifically designed for hand wash and helps fragrance last longer on the skin. You can mix this base with water, fragrance, and preservatives.

• Sulfate-Free Foaming Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming): This is a gentle, clear, sulfate-free base suitable for liquid soap. It provides good foam and can be mixed with water. The recommended usage rate for liquid soap is typically 25-35% of the total formula.

• Sulfate-Free No-Tear Foaming Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming): Similar to the Sulfate-Free Foaming Base, this option is also gentle, clear, and sulfate-free, with the added benefit of being "no-tear". It can be used for liquid soap at a recommended rate of 25-35%.

General Process:

1. Mix the chosen soap base with the appropriate amount of water (e.g., 25-35% base, 60-70% water, leaving space for other ingredients). Stir gently to avoid creating too many bubbles.
2. Add necessary ingredients such as preservatives (e.g., Mild Preserved Eco, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol) and fragrance.
3. If a thicker consistency is desired for a pump bottle, you can add a thickener. Suitable clear thickeners mentioned for these bases include SugarThick™, Xanthan Gum, or EasyThick™.
4. Adjust the pH if necessary, although these bases are typically formulated to be skin-friendly (around pH 5.5-7.5).

Please note that the exact percentages will depend on the specific base and desired properties. Always follow the usage recommendations for each ingredient.
