Creating a Rinseable Cleansing Cream Formula
Question
I want to create a cleansing product that can be massaged onto the face to remove makeup and then rinsed off directly with water, without needing cotton pads. I'm considering using Makeup wash and Coco Wash in the formula.
- What is the difference in cleaning performance and ease of rinsing between a formula using Cyclomethicone + Isododecane versus one using Makeup wash + Coco Wash?
- Can Makeup wash and Coco Wash be combined with oil and a cream maker to create a cream texture?
- How can I make this type of formula into a cream?
Could you provide a sample formula for a rinseable cleansing cream using Makeup wash and Coco Wash?
Sample Formula provided in answer:
- Makeup wash (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides) 7%
- Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) 7%
- Oil (choose an inexpensive type, e.g., Mineral oil) 10%
- Light Cream Maker 1%
- Water to 100%
- (Don't forget to add a preservative)
Answer
Hello,
Based on the information in the thread, here is a summary of the answers to your questions:
Cleaning Performance: The cleaning performance of both groups (Cyclomethicone + Isododecane and Makeup wash + Coco Wash) is similar, as their main ingredients can effectively dissolve makeup.
The main difference lies in ease of rinsing:- The first group (silicone + oil) is harder to rinse off because it is not water-soluble. It may require a secondary cleanser like soap or face wash.
- The second group (Makeup wash + Coco Wash) is easier to rinse off because they are surfactants that are soluble in both oil (to dissolve makeup) and water (to facilitate rinsing).
Can they be combined? Yes, they can. The cream formula recommended by the staff below combines ingredients from the second group (Makeup wash + Coco Wash) with oil and a cream maker.
How to make it a cream? You can use a cream maker or emulsifier. The staff recommended using Light Cream Maker in the formula.
For a Cleansing Cream formula that can be massaged onto the face and rinsed off with water without needing cotton pads, using Makeup wash and Coco Wash, the staff recommended the following formula:
Rinseable Cleansing Cream Formula
- Makeup wash (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides) 7%
- Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) 7%
- Oil (choose an inexpensive type, e.g., Mineral oil) 10%
- Light Cream Maker 1%
- Water to 100%
- (Don't forget to add a preservative)
This formula will give you a convenient cream texture that can be massaged to clean makeup and easily rinsed off with water.
