Eyelash Cleansing Foam Formula for Use Before and After Eyelash Extensions
Question
I am looking for a formula for an eyelash cleansing foam that is gentle and safe for the eye area. It should be suitable for cleaning eyelashes before applying extensions and for daily cleaning at home after getting eyelash extensions without damaging the adhesive.
Answer
Eyelash Cleansing Foam Formula (For Before and After Eyelash Extensions)
This eyelash cleansing foam formula is designed to be extra gentle, effectively removing dirt, oil, and makeup residue from the eyelashes without causing irritation to the eyes or damaging eyelash extension adhesive. It is suitable for preparing lashes before extensions and for daily cleaning after extensions.
Recommended Key Ingredients:
Gentle Surfactants: Use highly gentle surfactants that do not irritate the eyes and the skin around the eyes, such as:
- Polox-Mix™: A gentle cleansing water base suitable for the skin and eye area, providing good cleansing performance.
- MakeUp-Wash™ (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides): An extra gentle micellar-based cleanser that effectively removes makeup without drying the skin.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate or Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate: Amino acid-derived surfactants known for their high gentleness, good foaming properties, and moisturizing feel.
Eye-Safe Preservative: Using a preservative safe for eye-area products is crucial to prevent microbial contamination, such as:
- Eye Preserved™ (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide, PHMB): A preservative developed for contact lens solutions, known for its gentleness and safety for products used around the eyes.
Water: Use purified water as the main component.
Optional Additional Ingredients: You may add small amounts of moisturizers (e.g., Glycerin, Butylene Glycol) or soothing natural extracts (choose those safe for the eye area) as needed.
Preparation Method (Basic Concept):
Mix all ingredients in water according to appropriate ratios, starting with the main surfactants, preservative, and other components. Adjust the concentration as needed to achieve desired cleansing performance and foam quality.
How to Use:
Dispense the formula into a foaming bottle (Foaming Bottle) to create a soft, fine foam. Pump an appropriate amount of foam, gently cleanse the eyelashes and eyelids, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Precautions:
- Always test the compatibility of all ingredients before actual production.
- Adjust the surfactant concentration appropriately; avoid using too high a concentration to prevent irritation.
- Production should be done in a clean environment to prevent contamination.
- Stability and safety testing of the finished product are recommended.
