Oilsify 15 Cleansing Oil Formulation: Clarity, Residue, and Comparison

Based on the forum discussion regarding the Oilsify 15 Cleansing Oil formula:

• Why is a preservative needed in a water-free formula?
  Although the formula itself doesn't contain water, preservatives are included as per industry standards. This is a precautionary measure to prevent potential microbial growth if water or moisture accidentally enters the product during consumer use (e.g., water dripping into the bottle).
• Why is the oil not clear when using LipidSoft CC instead of LipidSoft Palm?
  Different types of oils and emollients can affect the clarity of the final product. Using LipidSoft CC with Oilsify 15 can result in a less clear oil compared to using LipidSoft Palm. This characteristic is observed in other products using a similar combination, such as the FANCL cleansing oil which includes LipidSoft CC and Oilsify 15.
• How do Oilsify 15 based cleansing oil and cleansing products using Makeup Wash + Coco Wash differ in working principle? Which is better?
  These two types of cleansers differ significantly based on their composition. Oilsify 15 is used in oil-based cleansing formulas, designed to dissolve oil-soluble impurities like makeup. Makeup Wash (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides) and Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) are used in water-based cleansers. Both types can be formulated to achieve comparable cleaning effectiveness. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference and skin type. Oil-based cleansers are generally preferred by individuals with very dry skin for their moisturizing feel, while water-based cleansers are often favored by those with oily skin.
• Regarding the oily residue and clogged pores:
  You observed that the formula leaves an oily residue after rinsing, unlike some commercial cleansing oils (like Shu Uemura). While Shu Uemura also uses Oilsify 15 as a primary cleansing agent (often with mineral oil as the base), the residue you experienced might be due to the specific balance of ingredients in your formulation. The staff did not explicitly state whether this residue will cause clogged pores (สิวอุดตัน), but any residue left on the skin could potentially contribute to pore issues depending on individual skin type and subsequent cleansing steps.
• How to adjust the formula for a clean rinse:
  To achieve a cleaner rinse with less oily residue, the staff recommends increasing the proportion of Oilsify 15 in your formula. This will enhance the emulsification and rinsing capability, allowing the oils and dissolved impurities to be washed away more effectively with water.
