Foam Cocoyl Amino Acids

Description

Why oil-based washing products?

Practicality

• Gentle on skin, hair and body.
• The use of microemulsion technology allows for gentle and effective cleansing while creating foam.

Gentle cleansing and foaming

• One product, multiple applications.
• 100% natural ingredient obtained by cold process.
• Easy formation of transparent products with high oil content.
• 100% natural origin (ISO 16128), PEG and ethoxylate free, plant-based, vegan, globally accepted, cold process production.

ORIGIN OF RAW MATERIALS
Natural – Sustainable – Safe

Composition

• Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids: a mild surfactant, based on plant amino acids (wheat, rice, barley) that form part of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF), gently restores oil to the skin.
• Coco Caprylate/Caprate: a natural plant ester, mild and hydrating.
• Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate: an effective natural mild surfactant with a high HLB, contributes to the silky feel of the skin.

How does Doam Cocoyl Amino Acids work?

The texture changes from a water-in-oil microemulsion (feels like oil on the skin) to an oil-in-water emulsion upon contact with water (turns into milk/lotion, and then into foam).

A typical simple formula:

• PHASE A: Foam Cocoly Amino Acids 10-30%
• PHASE B: Oils and butters 70-90%
• PHASE C: Fragrances, oil-based active ingredients 0-5%

Using

• 10%: Facilitates oil rinsing, transparent product, removes make-up and excess sebum.
• 15%: The oil turns into milk, ideal for facial cleansers or balms.
• 20% and above: The oil creates foam, suitable for shower oils, bubble baths, shampoos, facial cleansing oils.

The process of making sparkling oil

Measure the oil phase and Foam Cocoyl Amino Acids separately, melt the butters in the oil if using, add the essential oils or active ingredients, then slowly add the Foam Cocoyl Amino Acids while mixing. DO NOT homogenize or overmix.

Formulation tips

• Various esters, triglycerides or vegetable oils can be used.
• Avoid adding water, silicone, glycol and glycerin.
• Preservatives are not needed.
• The final pH is usually between 6 and 7.
