Essentials for making bath products

1. Surfactant shower gel

Surfactant type shower gel mainly highlights its foaming performance and cleaning performance. At the same time, it has a low-irritation and skin-friendly effect. However, its disadvantage is that it is relatively slippery after washing, and it seems to have a feeling that the bath has not been washed.

Key points for production and design of surfactant shower gel:

● The amount of surfactant should not be too much, because surfactant shower gel mainly has the cleaning effect of surfactant, but at the same time, the amount of surfactant will affect the amount of skin oil removal. Too much surfactant will cause The cleaning power is too strong and the skin becomes tight after washing. In addition, too much AES surfactant will make it thicker with salt and strong in low-temperature jelly;

●In order to avoid skin tightness after washing, a small amount of ester-forming agent, such as vegetable oil, needs to be added.

2. Soap-based shower gel

Soap-based shower gels also highlight foaming and cleaning properties. The main surfactant of soap-based shower gels is a combination of multiple fatty acids. The skin feels very good after washing. However, another disadvantage of soap-based shower gels is that If the pH is too high, the skin will be prone to dryness and dehydration after washing.

Key points for the production and design of soap-based shower gel:

● The content of fatty acid salts needs to be added in an appropriate amount, preferably 10%-30%. If it is too high, it will easily form thick agglomerates and make the material difficult to disperse;

● A certain amount of polyol needs to be added to disperse the thick texture of fatty acid salts, generally 5-10%, and the more commonly used ones are glycerol, sorbitol, etc.;

● Products are easily affected by pH, so the pH value of the product needs to be controlled.

3. Surfactant + soap-based shower gel

Soap-based shower gel has the characteristics of both surfactants and soap-based shower gel. It is very easy to cleanse without feeling tight on the skin.

Key points for the production and design of surfactant + soap-based shower gel:

● Mainly based on fatty acid salts in soap base, supplemented by surfactants;

● The choice of surfactant affects the final effect of mixed shower gel, so you need to pay attention to the choice of surfactant;

● Products are easily affected by pH, so the pH value of the product needs to be controlled.
