Question
1. Can Oil Soap and Oil Milk be mixed together?
2. I have a large bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil at home. How can I use these three ingredients (Olive Oil, Oil Soap, and Oil Milk) in a simple formulation?
Answer
Mixing Oil Soap and Oil Milk
Yes, Oil Soap and Oil Milk can be mixed together. Both are oil-soluble ingredients used to create cleansing oil formulations that turn milky when mixed with water.
Simple Formulation with Olive Oil, Oil Soap, and Oil Milk
You can create a simple cleansing oil using these three ingredients. Here is an example formula:
- Olive Oil (Extra Virgin): 50%
- Oil Milk (Laureth-4): 10%
- Oil Soap™: 40%
Mixing Instructions:
- Combine the Olive Oil, Oil Milk, and Oil Soap™ in a container.
- Stir or gently mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is clear. Gentle heating (around 70°C) with low-speed stirring can help if needed, but avoid high speeds to prevent air bubbles.
- Let the mixture cool if heated before use.
This formulation will create a cleansing oil that effectively removes makeup and impurities and emulsifies into a milky texture when rinsed with water.
