Question

When formulating a cleansing water using LipidSoft, Coco-Wash, and MakeUp-Wash, can LipidSoft be mixed with Coco-Wash and MakeUp-Wash before adding the mixture to the water phase?

Answer

Based on the information, you can indeed mix LipidSoft with MakeUp-Wash and Coco Wash first before adding the mixture to the water phase. Although LipidSoft is oil-soluble, MakeUp-Wash and Coco Wash are surfactants. Surfactants have the ability to help incorporate oil-soluble ingredients like LipidSoft into a water-based system, effectively dispersing or solubilizing the LipidSoft within the cleansing water formulation. This method allows you to combine the benefits of LipidSoft (like dissolving chemical sunscreens and providing a smooth feel) with the cleansing properties of MakeUp-Wash and Coco Wash in a single cleansing water product.
