Answer
Sulfate Free Foaming Base Usage
The Sulfate Free Foaming Base (Product ID 8020) is designed for rinse-off cleansing products such as shampoos, liquid soaps, and facial cleansers. Based on the product information:
For human use (leave-on head to toe): This base is intended for rinse-off applications. The product description does not provide usage rates or guidance for leave-on formulations. It is generally not recommended to use cleansing bases in leave-on products.
For rinse-off applications, the recommended usage rates are:
- 25-35% for shampoo and liquid soap.
- 15-20% for face wash and intimate areas.
- General range: 5-40% (recommended 20-25% for children/sensitive areas, 30-35% for adults).
For use on dogs and cats (rinse-off and leave-on): The product information does not specify usage rates or suitability for pets. Formulating products for animals requires specific consideration of their skin pH and sensitivity, which can differ significantly from humans. It is advisable to consult resources or experts specifically in pet care formulations before using cosmetic ingredients on animals, especially for leave-on applications.
