Ingredient Change in Makeup Remover Gel Formula
คำถาม
I usually use the following formula for making makeup remover gel:
- Water 58%
- Glycerin 15%
- Propylene Glycol 10%
- Coco Wash 5%
- MakeUp-Wash 5%
- Lauryl Glucoside 5%
- Xanthan Gum 1%
- Preservative 1%
- Adjust pH with Lactic Acid (a few drops).
I want to change the cleansing agent to Sulfate Free Shampoo Base (pH 7, Clear, Foaming) and still want to include MakeUp-Wash and Coco Wash in the formula.
Can I mix it like this?
- Water 64%
- Sulfate Free Shampoo Base 25%
- Coco Wash 5%
- MakeUp-Wash 5%
- Preservative 1%
And is Glycerin or Propylene Glycol necessary in this new formula?

Proposed Makeup Remover Gel Formula
Based on your proposed formula and the properties of the ingredients, your new makeup remover gel formula is viable. The combination of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, Coco Wash, and MakeUp-Wash can effectively cleanse and remove makeup.
Here's a breakdown of the proposed formula:
- Water (64%): The base of the gel.
- Sulfate Free Shampoo Base (25%): This acts as the primary cleansing agent, providing foaming and cleaning power while being gentle.
- Coco Wash (5%): A gentle, non-ionic surfactant that helps with makeup removal and adds a soft, smooth feel to the skin.
- MakeUp-Wash (5%): An extra gentle detergent that forms micelles to effectively remove makeup from pores.
- Preservative (1%): Essential for preventing microbial growth and ensuring the product's safety and shelf life.
Regarding your question about Glycerin and Propylene Glycol:
In your original formula, Glycerin and Propylene Glycol served as humectants (to retain moisture), solvents, and helped improve the texture and feel of the gel, making it smooth and pleasant to use.
While your new formula is functional without them, removing Glycerin and Propylene Glycol will likely change the texture and skin feel compared to your original formula. They are not strictly necessary for the cleansing function provided by the Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, Coco Wash, and MakeUp-Wash, but they contribute significantly to the moisturizing feel and overall elegance of the formulation. If you prefer a texture and feel closer to your original gel, you might consider including one or both at a lower percentage, adjusting the water content accordingly.
Your proposed percentages sum to 100%, which is correct for a complete formula.
