Activator in Cosmetics and Mixing Agents for Face Scrubs/Masks

The term "Activator" in the context of cosmetics typically refers to a substance that "activates" or "stimulates the function" of other ingredients or biological processes in the skin.

A popular ingredient used as an Activator, often found in famous skincare brands, is Bifida Ferment Lysate. This is an extract from the fermentation of Bifida bacteria. It is known for its properties in helping to repair the skin barrier, strengthen the skin, and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and inflammation.

Products containing this ingredient include:

• Repair Activator™ BG (Bifida Ferment Lysate, Butylene Glycol Base)
• Repair Activator™ WS (Bifida Ferment Lysate, Water Base)
• Bifida Repair Complex™ (Bifida Ferment Lysate, High Conc)

Regarding the question about a clear liquid used to mix with face scrub or mask powders like Spongilla, it might refer to a substance that helps disperse the powder and create a suitable texture for masking or scrubbing.

A product that could be used as a mixing agent for various powders is Sponge Gel. This is a unique gel-forming substance that absorbs a large amount of water like a sponge and releases it when applied to the skin, providing an immediate refreshing sensation. However, Sponge Gel is an opaque white liquid, not clear. The choice of mixing agent depends on the type of powder and the desired texture.
