Face Mask Powder Formulation for Whitening, Softening, and Moisturizing

Based on your goal of creating a gentle, moisturizing, and whitening face mask powder for your mixed, sensitive skin, using Goat Milk powder as a base is a good starting point. Goat Milk powder is known for its softening and moisturizing properties, providing natural nutrients to the skin.

To enhance the whitening, soothing, and skin-improving benefits, you can add the following active ingredients to your Goat Milk powder base:

• GlucoBright (Acetyl Glucosamine): This ingredient works well with Niacinamide for whitening and reducing dark spots. It also helps stimulate the skin's natural hyaluronic acid production for moisture and offers gentle exfoliation.
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide): A versatile vitamin that helps improve skin tone, reduce redness and dark spots, strengthen the skin barrier (aiding moisture retention), reduce oiliness, and can help with the appearance of pores.
• Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%): Known for its ability to reduce skin inflammation, redness, and irritation, and also offers whitening benefits. Please note this is a liquid extract.
• WhiteCumin 2x (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane): Provides strong whitening, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Please note this is a liquid extract.

Example Powder Mix (Dry Ingredients Only):

You can create a dry powder blend using Goat Milk powder, GlucoBright, and Safe-B3. A possible starting ratio for the dry mix could be:

• Goat Milk Powder: 90-95%
• GlucoBright + Safe-B3 (combined): 5-10%

For example, you could use 5% GlucoBright and 5% Safe-B3, making the total active powder content 10%. Always start with lower percentages if you are unsure of your measurements.

How to Use the Mask:

1. Take a small amount of your dry powder mix (e.g., 1-2 teaspoons).
2. In a separate container, mix your chosen liquid (water, floral water, or plain yogurt) with the recommended amounts of liquid Licorice Extract and WhiteCumin 2x.
3. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry powder mix, stirring until you achieve a smooth paste consistency suitable for a mask.
4. Apply to your face, avoiding the eye area, and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.

Important Considerations:

• Measurement: Since you are not using a high-precision scale, it is crucial to be very cautious with the amounts of active ingredients. Using volume measurements requires careful estimation. It is safer to slightly underestimate the amount of active ingredients than to add too much, which could cause irritation.
• Liquid Extracts: Remember that Licorice Extract (69) and WhiteCumin 2x (721) are liquids. Do not mix them into the dry powder blend. Instead, measure them and mix them into the liquid you will use to activate the mask (water, yogurt, etc.) before combining the liquid with the dry powder mix.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin before applying the mask to your entire face, especially given your skin's sensitivity.
• Storage: Store the dry powder mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Store the liquid extracts separately as recommended on their product pages (e.g., in the refrigerator).
• Phospholipid: While Phospholipid (Hydrogenated Lecithin) is a beneficial ingredient for skin barrier and moisture, incorporating it effectively into a simple powder mask mixed without high-shear equipment can be challenging as it requires proper dispersion in both water and oil phases. For simplicity in this formulation, it is suggested to omit it.

This formulation focuses on providing moisture, soothing, and gentle whitening suitable for your skin type.
