Answer
Facial Cleansing Mousse Formula with Makeup Removal Capability
For a facial cleansing mousse formula that can also remove makeup, this typically refers to a liquid facial cleanser formula that produces a soft, foamy texture when used with a foaming pump bottle.
The main components needed in this formula include:
- Cleansing and Makeup Removing Agent: Choose an ingredient that effectively dissolves and removes makeup residue, such as
MakeUp-Wash™ (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides), which is a gentle Micellar that helps cleanse makeup thoroughly. - Gentle Foaming Agent: To achieve a soft and stable foam texture when pumped, you can use gentle foaming agents like
IseFoam™ (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate)orPowderly Foam™ (Potassium Laureth Phosphate), which provides a soft feel. Alternatively, you can use a ready-made gentle foaming base likeSulfate-Free No-Tear Foaming Base. - Humectant: Helps keep the skin from feeling dry and tight after cleansing, such as
Glycerin. - Water: The main solvent in the formula.
- Preservative: To prevent microbial growth in the formula (choose a preservative suitable for water-based formulas).
Example Basic Formula Structure:
- MakeUp-Wash™: 3-5%
- Gentle Foaming Agent (e.g., IseFoam™, Powderly Foam™, or Sulfate-Free No-Tear Foaming Base): Adjust according to desired foam level and gentleness (Sulfate-Free No-Tear Foaming Base can be used at 15-20% for facial cleansing).
- Glycerin: 5-10%
- Preservative: According to manufacturer's recommended rate.
- Purified Water: The remaining portion to make 100%.
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in purified water. Stir or mix gently until well combined (avoid vigorous mixing to prevent excessive foaming). Then, fill the mixture into a foaming pump bottle.
This formula is a basic structure. You can adjust the type and amount of foaming agent or add other water-soluble beneficial ingredients as needed.
