I am developing a facial cleansing powder with a built-in scrub for dry to combination skin, aiming for a non-drying cleanse with oil control and exfoliation. The formula includes Amino Powder Cleanser, Apricot Scrub, Powder to Coconut Oil cream base, Colloidal Oatmeal, Apple stemcell extract, Rice Vitamin, Natural Betaine, and ActiveRelease Salicylic Acid. I have specific questions regarding: 1. The effectiveness of moisturizing ingredients like Rice Vitamin and Natural Betaine in a wash-off product with a short contact time (3-5 minutes massage), and whether this process might still cause dryness despite the gentle base. 2. The function of the Powder to Coconut Oil cream base in creating a creamy texture upon mixing with water. 3. Whether Colloidal Oatmeal at 5% will provide a milky texture and if this percentage is suitable for its soothing properties. 4. If Rice Vitamin can be used instead of corn starch for oil reduction. 5. Overall suitability and compatibility of the combined ingredients in this formula.
