Changing Mousse Clay Mask to Standard Clay Mask Texture

To change the texture of the Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask from a mousse to a standard clay mask, you would need to remove the ingredients responsible for the mousse texture (typically propellants and specific gelling agents that create foam) and formulate it as a traditional clay mask paste.

The core component of a standard clay mask is the clay itself. As suggested by the staff, Kaolin is an excellent choice to replace the Volcanic Ash. Kaolin is a natural clay known for absorbing oil and impurities, and it is widely used in masks.

Other types of clay can also be used, such as:

• Green Clay: Known for absorbing oil and impurities, tightening pores, and reducing inflammation.
• Red Clay: Helps absorb impurities, tighten pores, and exfoliate skin cells.
• Yellow Clay: Also helps absorb impurities, tighten pores, and exfoliate skin cells.

To create the standard clay mask texture, you would typically mix the chosen clay powder with a liquid phase (such as water, hydrosols, or a blend including humectants like glycerin) to form a smooth, spreadable paste. The ratio of liquid to clay will determine the final consistency.

Additionally, ingredients can be added to improve the texture, stability, and feel of the clay mask, such as:

• Disteardimonium Hectorite or Stearalkonium Hectorite: These are common thickeners used in cosmetics that help provide good stability and texture.
• Hectorite Gel products: These can help suspend solid particles like clay and pigments, preventing settling and improving spreadability.
• BYK 410: An anti-settling additive that can help keep the clay dispersed evenly in the formula.

In summary, the main change involves replacing the mousse-forming system with a simple liquid base and potentially adding thickeners to achieve the desired paste consistency of a standard clay mask, using clays like Kaolin as the primary ingredient.
