Answer
Subject: Regarding Eucerin Shower Oil Formula Request
Thank you for your request regarding the Eucerin shower oil formula.
Based on the list of ingredients you provided and the information from our staff, the ingredient MIPA-Laureth Sulfate is a key component in this type of shower oil, responsible for its foaming properties, especially in formulations with high oil content.
Our staff has informed us that MIPA-Laureth Sulfate is currently not available and is in the process of being imported, expected to be available within approximately 60 days.
Due to the unavailability of this crucial ingredient, we are unable to provide a complete formulation that would replicate the performance of the Eucerin shower oil at this time. Standard surfactants typically do not perform as well in high-oil formulas to create sufficient foam.
While many of the other ingredients you listed may be available, the absence of MIPA-Laureth Sulfate prevents us from creating a functional equivalent of the Eucerin formula.
We recommend waiting until MIPA-Laureth Sulfate becomes available. Please check back with us in about 60 days.
