- Can
Oilsify 15be mixed directly with a carrier oil? - If
Oilsify 15is a main component, will the formula turn milky white when mixed with water? - Will
Oilsify 15cause skin irritation or clogging? - Regarding an example formula, can I replace
Mineral Oilwith another carrier oil, omitLipidSoft™ Palm, and omit the preservative (Phenoxyethanol) if making it for personal use?
Answer
Regarding making your own cleansing oil with Oilsify 15:
- You can mix Oilsify 15 directly with your desired carrier oil.
- Yes, if Oilsify 15 is a main component in the formula, it will turn milky white when mixed with water.
- Oilsify 15 is a surfactant (cleansing agent). It can cause skin irritation if left on the skin without rinsing, which is typical for cleansing agents. It does not cause clogging.
- Regarding modifying the example formula:
- You can replace Mineral Oil with your preferred carrier oil.
- You can omit LipidSoft™ Palm; it is not necessary.
- You can omit the preservative (Phenoxyethanol) if you are making it for personal use, as the formula does not contain water, which makes it difficult for microorganisms to grow.
