ClearClean Precipitation with Alcohol in Liquid Face Wash; emulPearl Alternative
Question
Why does `ClearClean` precipitate when added to a liquid face wash formula containing `alcohol`? What alternative ingredient, such as `emulPearl™ (Ethylene Glycol Distearate)`, is recommended to achieve a pearly/cloudy texture while being compatible with alcohol?
Answer
The issue you encountered with Clear Clean precipitating when mixed with alcohol in your liquid face wash formula is because Clear Clean is not compatible with alcohol, which is necessary for dissolving your extract.
As suggested by our staff, you can consider using emulPearl™ (Ethylene Glycol Distearate) instead.
emulPearl™ is designed to create a pearlescent or cloudy appearance in surfactant-based products like liquid soaps and shampoos and is compatible with alcohol.
You can find more details about emulPearl™ on our website.
