Water-Based Cleansing Formula using MakeUp-Wash™

Yes, you can use MakeUp-Wash™ (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides) to create a water-based cleansing formula, such as cleansing water. MakeUp-Wash™ is an extra gentle detergent that forms micelles in water, effectively removing makeup without drying the skin.

To make a basic cleansing water formula, besides MakeUp-Wash™ and water, you should add an emollient. An emollient helps to moisturize the skin and prevent dryness. Common emollients used in cleansing water include:

• Glycerin
• Butylene Glycol

A simple example formula provided in the product description is:

• MakeUp-Wash™: 3%
• Emollient (like Glycerin or Butylene Glycol): 5-10%
• Water: [the rest]

Remember to mix MakeUp-Wash™ into the water, not the other way around. The recommended usage rate for MakeUp-Wash™ in cleansing or wiping makeup products is 3-5%. If it causes eye stinging, you can lower the concentration.
