Solving Cloudiness in Micellar Cleansing Water Formulation
คำถาม
My mixture becomes cloudy when I add water to the base containing PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (MakeUp-Wash™) and other ingredients like Poloxamer 184, Glycerin, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, and Cucumber Extract. What is the correct mixing procedure to achieve a clear solution?

Mixing Instructions to Avoid Cloudiness
The cloudiness observed when adding water to your base mixture is likely due to the mixing order, particularly with the PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (MakeUp-Wash™). This ingredient is designed to form micelles when added to water, not when water is added to it.
To achieve a clear solution, please try the following mixing steps:
- Combine the Water, Poloxamer 184, Glycerin, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, and Cucumber Extract. Stir until all ingredients are fully dissolved and the mixture is clear.
- Slowly add the PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (MakeUp-Wash™) to the mixture from step 1 while stirring gently. Continue stirring until the solution becomes clear.
This method ensures that the MakeUp-Wash™ is properly dispersed in the water phase, allowing it to form clear micellar structures. The exact proportions of your ingredients are needed for more specific advice, but this adjusted mixing order should help resolve the cloudiness issue.
