Answer

Oil-Based Liquid Soap (Turns Milky)

To create an oil-based liquid soap that turns into a milky texture when it comes into contact with water during bathing, you will need a special base ingredient that acts as an emulsifier, allowing the oil to disperse in water. MySkinRecipes offers several suitable options for this.

One popular option is Oil Soap ™ or Oil Soap™ WW-CF. These bases are designed to create clear oil soaps that foam and turn milky upon contact with water. Another option is Oilsify Eco, which is a base specifically for making cleansing oils.

Here is an example formula using Oil Soap ™:

  • Oil Soap ™: 45%
  • Fractionated Coconut Oil: 46%
  • Jojoba Oil: 5%
  • Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 1%
  • Oil Blender™: 3% (required to prevent separation)

Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together.
  2. Heat the mixture to 70°C and blend at a low speed (not more than 500 rpm) until everything is dissolved.
  3. Let it cool down to no more than 50°C, then add Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) and blend or stir well.
  4. You can add fragrance or essential oil as usual.

The ingredients mentioned in this formula, including Oil Soap ™, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), and Oil Blender™, are available for purchase at MySkinRecipes.
