Question

Can PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides and PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate be used to make bar soap for facial cleansing? Is bar soap suitable for washing the face?

Answer

Hello,

Based on the information provided, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides (Makeup wash) and PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (cocowash) cannot be used to make cleansing bar soap.

Furthermore, bar soap typically has a high pH, which is generally not suitable for washing the face.
