Rinse formulation cooling agent

A rinse formulation cooling agent is typically used in personal care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, or body washes, to provide a refreshing and cooling sensation on the skin or scalp. These agents are often derived from natural extracts or synthetic compounds that activate thermoreceptors in the skin, creating a cooling effect. Below is a general formulation outline for a cooling agent in a rinse-off product:

Key Ingredients:

  1. Base Product (e.g., Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash)
  • Surfactants, emulsifiers, and other base ingredients specific to the product type.
  1. Cooling Agent
  • Menthol: A common cooling agent derived from mint oils. Typical usage level: 0.1–0.5%.
  • Menthyl Lactate: A derivative of menthol with a milder and longer-lasting cooling effect. Usage: 0.1–1%.
  • Eucalyptus Oil: Provides a cooling sensation and a refreshing aroma. Usage: 0.1–0.3%.
  • Peppermint Oil: Contains menthol and imparts a cooling and tingling sensation. Usage: 0.1–0.5%.
  • WS-3 (N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide): A synthetic cooling agent with a strong cooling effect. Usage: 0.01–0.1%.
  • WS-23 (Isopulegol derivative): Another synthetic cooling agent with a clean, intense cooling sensation. Usage: 0.01–0.1%.
  1. Solubilizers (if needed)
  • For essential oils or hydrophobic cooling agents, use solubilizers like Polysorbate 20 or PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil.
  1. Preservatives
  • To ensure product stability and safety. Examples: Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, or Parabens.
  1. Fragrance (optional)
  • To enhance the sensory experience and complement the cooling effect.
  1. Water or Carrier
  • Acts as the base for the formulation.

Sample Formulation (Cooling Body Wash):

IngredientPercentage
Water70–80%
Surfactant (e.g., SLES)10–15%
Cocamidopropyl Betaine5–10%
Glycerin1–3%
Menthol0.1–0.3%
Peppermint Oil0.1–0.2%
Polysorbate 200.5–1%
Preservative0.5–1%
Fragrance0.1–0.3%

Instructions:

  1. Mix water and surfactants in the main vessel.
  2. Add glycerin and solubilizers, stirring until homogeneous.
  3. Slowly incorporate the cooling agent (e.g., menthol or WS-3) and essential oils, ensuring proper dispersion.
  4. Add preservatives and fragrance.
  5. Adjust pH to 5.5–6.5 using citric acid or sodium hydroxide.
  6. Test for stability, cooling effect, and sensory properties.

Notes:

  • Always perform a patch test to ensure the cooling agent does not cause irritation.
  • Adjust the concentration of the cooling agent based on the desired intensity of the cooling sensation.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines for cosmetic ingredients in your region.
