[DIY] DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi! Today I decided to make a DIY version of the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. It's fairly easy and inexpensive to make and it'll save you money.Original DHC Deep Cleansing OilOlea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Pentylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopherol, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil. My RecipePercentageIngredient69.50%Olive Oil15%Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride5%Olivem 3005%Cromollient SCE2%C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate2%Vitamin E1%Phenonip0.50Rosemary EO NotesOlivem 300 is a good substitute for Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate but I didn't want to add too much of it (it's dispersible in oil and not completely soluble) and neither I wanted to leave the solubilizer percentage at 5% so I added 5% of Cromollient SCE as well. At the end, it also comes down to personal preference. You're free to make your own substitutions (for example, you could use Polysorbate 80 but IMO the end product won't feel as good on the skin as it would with these two) as well but make sure to research the ingredient and don't exceed the recommended usage amount. I used C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate as a substitute for Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate which isn't available for purchase by private individuals (at least I didn't find it after looking for almost a week...I only found it on Alibaba). You can use substitute it with other esters or any light oil if you want but I prefer to use this one. Vitamin E is added at 2% instead of 1% because that's the minimum recommended percentage for the one available on the USA website of NDA.  Recipe for 2.5 oz / 70.35 gPercentageIngredientPrice48.56 gOlive OilNDA$0.4410.5 gCaprylic/CapricTriglycerideLC$0.243.5 gOlivem 300LC$0.083.5 gCromollient SCELC$0.211.4 gC12-15 Alkyl BenzoateLC$0.031.4 gVitamin ENDA$0.101.05 gPhenonipLC$0.080.35 gRosemary EONDA$0.08Total cost: $1.26 vs $14 (actually $15 for 2.5 oz)Keep in mind that I calculated the prices from the smallest quantities available. If you buy a bigger quantity of an ingredient it's even cheaper than $1.26! I hope you guys like this and find it useful :) it took a lot of time to research the substitutions, ideal amounts of each ingredient etc.
