Economy Hand Soap & Body Wash Base: A Budget Friendly, Plant Based Cleansing Base for High Volume Applications

Product Overview

Economy Hand Soap & Body Wash Base is a revised formulation of our Natural Soap Base, built to offer a thicker, more consistent hand wash texture while keeping the plant based, sulfate conscious profile our customers expect. It is designed as a cost-effective option for high volume hand soap and body wash applications, without sacrificing cleansing performance.

The formula is paraben free, phthalate free, silicone free, dye free, gluten free, sulfate free, and polyethylene glycol free, giving formulators a clean, straightforward base to build from.

Why It Is a Go To Base for Budget Focused Formulators

  • Cost effective without sacrificing foam. Built on Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Coco Glucoside, and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, this base delivers reliable, gentle cleansing and rich, stable foam at a lower price point than our Premium base.
  • Balanced, consistent viscosity. A target range of 5,000 to 6,500 cps gives a satisfying; consistent hand wash feel batch to batch.
  • Light conditioning from glycerin and aloe vera. These ingredients leave skin soft and smooth after washing, without adding formulation complexity.
  • A clean, neutral base ready for private labeling. No artificial fragrances or colors are added, so brands can build their own identity on top of a straightforward, plant-based foundation.
  • Shelf stable formulation. Preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, and pH balanced to the skin friendly 5.5 to 7.0 range using citric acid.

Applications

Economy Hand Soap & Body Wash Base is used across formulation and private label categories served by EZ Elements.

  • Liquid hand soaps for high volume commercial refill programs
  • Body washes and mild cleansing products
  • Private label personal care lines built on a clean, unscented base
  • Restaurants, gyms, spas, and commercial refill applications

A Note on Fragrance and Essential Oils

This base relies on a salt-based viscosity system rather than a more robust polymeric thickener. Because of this, we do not recommend adding essential oils or fragrance oils, since doing so can destabilize viscosity and cause the product to thin out or separate over time. This tradeoff is part of what allows us to offer the Economy base at a lower price point.

If your formulation calls for fragrance or essential oil customization, we recommend our Premium Hand Soap & Body Wash Base, which is built on an advanced thickening and conditioning system designed specifically to support scented formulations.
