Brightening Cleansing Mousse Formulation

Question

I am interested in creating a Brightening Cleansing Mousse formulation. I have a list of ingredients (as mentioned in the expert's response). I would like to know:

  • Is it possible to include brightening ingredients in a wash-off product like a cleansing mousse and expect them to be effective?
  • Can you provide an exact formulation (percentages) based solely on a list of ingredients?

Answer

Brightening Cleansing Mousse Formulation

Thank you for your inquiry about a Brightening cleansing mousse formulation and providing the list of ingredients you found.

Based on the information available, it is generally not recommended to include brightening ingredients in a wash-off product like a cleansing mousse. Brightening ingredients typically require sufficient contact time with the skin to be absorbed and show effectiveness. Since a cleansing mousse is quickly rinsed off, the brightening agents would not have enough time to work properly.

Furthermore, providing exact percentages for a cosmetic formulation based solely on a list of ingredients is not feasible. A proper formulation requires detailed knowledge of each raw material's properties, concentration, and compatibility, as well as specific formulation guidelines to achieve the desired product characteristics (texture, stability, performance, etc.).

For a cleansing mousse, the focus should primarily be on effective yet gentle cleansing.
