Adding Oil Control Actives to Facial Cleansing Gel
Question
I am formulating a facial cleansing gel and would like to add active ingredients for oil control. What is the effectiveness of adding active ingredients to a wash-off product like a cleansing gel, and what ingredients are recommended for oil control in this type of formulation?
Answer
Based on the staff's advice, adding active ingredients to a wash-off product like a facial cleansing gel will have limited effectiveness as they are rinsed off quickly.
However, the staff suggested the following ingredients that can help control skin oiliness and can be added to your formula:
- Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3 / Niacinamide)
- L-Carnitine
- AcneBee Extra
- BioSulphur
The staff did not specify the exact proportions for adding these ingredients to your formula. You can try incorporating them, keeping in mind the staff's note about the expected limited results in a wash-off product.
