Q&A: Chlorine Removal Soap/Shampoo, Conditioning Body Wash, and Body Lotion Formula Review

ถามโดย: peeya_pgi เมื่อ: December 30, 2018 ประเภทผลิตภัณฑ์: เครื่องสำอาง

คำถาม

I have a few questions regarding formulations:

  1. I would like a formula idea for a product that can wash off chlorine, suitable for use as both soap and shampoo. I noticed that commercially available products often contain parabens; can a formula be created without this substance?
  2. I would like a formula idea for a body wash that leaves conditioning ingredients on the skin after rinsing. My teenage son has started having very dry legs, especially in winter, and doesn't like using any body lotion. I saw Condi-B5™ (Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride) on the website. Can this be added to an existing body wash? Are there other ingredients that can be used for this purpose? Which category should I look in?
  3. I would like to know if the following Body Lotion formula is feasible for moisturizing, firming, reducing age-related wrinkles, and evening out skin tone, considering I am sometimes exposed to the sun during the day (wearing short sleeves):
    • Rice Vitamin (Inositol) 2%
    • Sodium Lactate Plus 2.5%
    • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) 3%
    • Oryzanol (Rice Bran Extract) 0.25%
    • Shea butter ultra soft 5%
    • WhiteCumin™ (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane) 0.15%
    • Pure-Genistein™ 0.2%
    • Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol) 0.5%
    • Lactobionic Acid 1.5%
    • Slim-Coffee™ 3%
    • L-Carnitine (Carnitine) 2%
    • Satin Cream Maker 3%
    • Water q.s.

1. Chlorine Removal Soap/Shampoo

To create a soap or shampoo that helps remove chlorine, you can incorporate chelating agents into your formula. These ingredients bind to minerals, including chlorine, helping to wash them away. Ingredients like Pentasodium Pentetate or Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate (EDDS) are examples of chelating agents that can be used.

Regarding parabens, they are preservatives and are not related to the chlorine removal function. It is possible to formulate paraben-free products by using alternative preservative systems.

2. Leave-on Skin Conditioning Body Wash

For a body wash that leaves conditioning benefits on the skin after rinsing, incorporating cationic conditioning agents is effective. These ingredients have a positive charge that allows them to adhere to the negatively charged skin surface, providing a conditioning feel even after washing.

Condi-B5 (Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride) is indeed suitable for this purpose, as it is a modified Vitamin B5 with a positive charge designed to cling to skin and hair in rinse-off products.

Other ingredients you can consider from the Skin Conditioner category that offer similar leave-on conditioning properties include Poly-Conditioner 47, Poly-Conditioner 28, Cola-Cond (Cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate), Fatty-Cond (Linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate), Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone (Light), Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone (Heavy), and Hair-Cond 0949. You can explore the descriptions of ingredients in the Skin Conditioner category to find suitable options.

3. Body Lotion Formula Review

Regarding your proposed Body Lotion formula for anti-aging, firming, wrinkle reduction, and skin tone evening, the ingredients you've chosen are generally beneficial for these purposes.

  • Rice Vitamin (Inositol) and Sodium Lactate Plus are excellent for moisturizing and improving skin hydration.
  • Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) is a versatile ingredient known for reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone and hyperpigmentation, strengthening the skin barrier, and providing anti-aging benefits.
  • Oryzanol offers antioxidant properties, helps improve skin elasticity, moisturizes, stimulates collagen, and can contribute to skin brightening and protection against sun damage.
  • Shea Butter Ultra Soft is a rich moisturizer that helps with skin hydration, elasticity, and can aid in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and scars.
  • WhiteCumin (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane) is a potent antioxidant that helps reduce pigmentation and has anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol) is another antioxidant that protects the skin from damage and helps slow down aging.
  • Lactobionic Acid is a polyhydroxy acid that provides anti-aging benefits, improves skin clarity and firmness, and helps with skin texture.
  • Slim-Coffee (Coffee Extract) and L-Carnitine are known for their potential in improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of cellulite, which aligns with your goal of firmer skin.

However, as noted by the staff reply, the emulsifier Satin Cream Maker is not compatible with the electrolyte ingredients in your formula, such as Sodium Lactate Plus, Lactobionic Acid, and Slim-Coffee. Using Satin Cream Maker with these ingredients will make emulsification difficult or impossible.

The staff correctly recommended using Butter Cream Maker as an alternative emulsifier for this formula. Butter Cream Maker has high electrolyte resistance and is suitable for formulas with acidic or alkaline ingredients. Note that using Butter Cream Maker requires heating during the mixing process.

Additionally, the ingredient Pure-Genistein is listed as being for food/pharmaceutical research use only in Thailand and is not permitted for use in cosmetics. You should omit this ingredient from your body lotion formula.

Finally, as the staff mentioned, if you are exposed to the sun regularly, it is crucial to use adequate sun protection alongside this lotion to achieve the desired results, especially regarding skin tone evening and preventing further sun damage.

Overall, the formula with the suggested change of emulsifier (using Butter Cream Maker instead of Satin Cream Maker) and the removal of Pure-Genistein appears to be a comprehensive lotion aimed at moisturizing, anti-aging, firming, and improving skin tone.
