I just made such a big step forward with my skincare product creations. I was always scared to work with surfactants or emulsifiers so I just didn’t ever try to make anything that’s soapy, like a body wash or face wash. My best friend that has been making skincare longer than me was like “Mia you’ve done much more complicated things order them and just try for fun”. So I got them in tonight and we FaceTimed while I made my first creamy & foamy body wash with some of her tips. IT CAME OUT PERFECT FIRST TRY. So creamy but not too creamy that it doesn’t froth. Soapy enough that it cleans and doesn’t leave any oily residue but also isn’t drying. Maybe a little more surfactant and less emulsifier so it gets a tad more foamy but that’s easy. I’m going use it in the shower tomorrow I’ve only tested it on my arms so far. I’m so excited. I can bring ALL of my ideas to life now. It’s tobacco, vanilla, brown sugar, marshmallow, and woodsy smelling. I could definitely see this being a good shaving cream so im going to try that too!! The world my oyster now when it comes to products now. SO PROUD AND EXCITED.
