Understanding LipidSoft Fix and Oil Blender in Your Formula

You're asking about the difference between LipidSoft Fix and Oil Blender for preventing separation in a formula with multiple oils. Both ingredients can contribute to formula stability, but they have different primary functions.

Based on the ingredients you listed (Grape Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, LipidSoft Palm, Oilsify 15, LipidSoft Fix, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, and water), your formula appears to be a microemulsion cleanser, similar to the example provided in the description for Oilsify 15. A pure cleansing oil typically does not contain water.

Here's a breakdown of the roles of LipidSoft Fix and Oil Blender in such a system:

• LipidSoft Fix: This ingredient is primarily a stabilizer and pigment disperser, especially useful in formulas with a high oil content to prevent layer separation. It also provides water resistance. In your formula, it would help keep the oil phase stable and potentially improve the formula's resistance to washing off.

• Oil Blender: This is a water-in-oil emulsifier designed to blend different oils or oil and silicone phases smoothly. It can also help stabilize water-in-oil emulsions. In your formula, it would help ensure that the various oils you are using are well-mixed and contribute to the overall texture and stability of the microemulsion.

In summary, while both can aid in preventing separation, LipidSoft Fix focuses more on overall formula stability in high-oil systems and pigment dispersion, while Oil Blender is more specifically for blending different oil types and supporting the water-in-oil structure of a microemulsion. Oilsify 15 acts as the main emulsifier in your cleansing microemulsion formula, allowing the oil and water phases to combine and rinse off effectively with water.
