Subject: Facial Foam Formulation Method (100g)
Here is the method to make the facial foam based on the formula you provided, for a total of 100g.
Ingredients (for 100g):
- Water (Distilled): 59.5g
- Salicylic Acid EZ: 10g
- Pro Vitamin B5: 3g
- Glycerin: 5g
- Phenoxyethanol SA (Optiphen Plus): 1g
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine: 5g
- Lauryl Glucoside: 5g
- Creamy Foamer (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate): 10g
- SugarThick (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate): 1.5g (Optional, for thickening)
- Citric Acid or Lactic Acid: As needed to adjust pH
Instructions:
- Combine Water (59.5g), Salicylic Acid EZ (10g), Pro Vitamin B5 (3g), Glycerin (5g), and Phenoxyethanol SA (1g) in a container. Stir until all ingredients are dissolved and the mixture is clear.
- Gradually add Cocamidopropyl Betaine (5g), Lauryl Glucoside (5g), and Creamy Foamer (10g) to the mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined. Avoid creating too much foam.
- Measure the pH of the mixture using a pH meter. Add small amounts of Citric Acid or Lactic Acid as needed, stirring after each addition, until the pH is between 5 and 6.
- Check the consistency of the facial foam. If you prefer a thicker consistency, gently warm the mixture to 60-70°C. Then, add SugarThick (1.5g) and stir gently until it is fully dissolved and incorporated into the mixture.
- Once cooled (if heated), the facial foam is ready to be transferred to a suitable container.
