Ingredient Information

Acne Foam Ingredients

• Coco Wash™ (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate): This is a gentle, non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is primarily used for its softening and smoothing properties, making it suitable for makeup removers or adding moisturizing feel to cleansing products. It has low cleaning efficiency and is typically used with other detergents.
• Coco-Foam-50™ (Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine): This is an amphoteric surfactant that is good at creating lather or foam. It has low cleaning efficiency and is usually combined with other surfactants to boost foaming in cleansing products.
• Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid, Timed-Release, Wash-Off): This is a type of Salicylic Acid (BHA) that helps exfoliate skin cells, dissolve clogged pores, and has antiseptic properties. The encapsulated, timed-release form is designed to be gentler on the skin, and this specific type is intended for products that are washed off, such as cleansers.

Whitening Cream Ingredients

• CysWhite™ (Cysteamine HCL): This ingredient is known for its skin whitening properties and is used to address issues like blemishes. It is noted for having a strong odor and low stability when dissolved in water, suggesting it works best in anhydrous formulas or with specific stabilizers and odor absorbers. It is typically recommended for wash-off applications after a short contact time.
• Hi-Glabridin™ Licorice Extract (Glabridin 40%): Extracted from licorice, Glabridin is recognized for its whitening and anti-irritation effects. This high-concentration form needs to be dissolved in solvents like Butylene Glycol or Ethanol before being incorporated into a formula.
• GlucoBright™ (Acetyl Glucosamine): Also known as N-acetyl-D Glucosamine, GlucoBright™ is used for its whitening properties and ability to reduce dark spots. It also helps stimulate the skin's natural production of Hyaluronic Acid, contributing to skin hydration and potentially reducing wrinkles. It can also provide gentle exfoliation and works well in combination with Vitamin B3.
• Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Switzerland): This is a high-quality grade of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). It offers multiple skin benefits, including reducing wrinkles and dark spots, improving skin moisture by stimulating collagen and ceramides, strengthening the skin barrier, and helping to reduce facial oiliness, making it suitable for acne-prone skin. A purer grade called Extreme-B3™ is also available, which is even gentler.
• Silk Lotion Maker: This is an oil-in-water emulsifier with a silicone-based structure. It is designed to create formulations with a soft and smooth texture on the skin and can help minimize greasiness. It can be used in cold-process formulations.

Note on Whitening Cream Formulation: I noticed that the percentages in your Whitening Cream formulation add up to over 100% (specifically 120.1%). Please double-check your percentages, as the total should ideally add up to 100% for a complete formulation.

For personalized advice on adjusting these formulations or creating new ones, consulting with a professional formulator is the safest and most effective approach.
