Question
I am trying to formulate a facial foam cleanser and want it to have a thick, creamy texture and soft, creamy foam. I am considering using natural oil. How can I achieve this texture and foam, and what ingredients, besides natural oil, would be necessary?
Answer
Creating a Creamy Facial Foam Cleanser
Regarding creating a creamy facial foam cleanser with a thick texture and soft foam:
- Using Natural Oil: As discussed previously, using a high percentage of natural oils may not be ideal for facial foam cleanser products directly due to potential stability issues and shorter shelf life, which can lead to rancidity.
- Creating Creamy Foam: To achieve soft, creamy foam, Creamy Foamer™ is a recommended foaming agent that can be used in facial cleanser formulas.
- The recommended usage rate for Creamy Foamer™ is 10-15%, and it can be increased up to 30% if more foam is desired.
- Creating a Thick Creamy Texture: To make the product texture thick and creamy, in addition to using a foaming agent, you will also need thickeners in the formula to adjust the viscosity to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
- Recommendation: It is advisable to start with a basic formula for a gentle facial cleanser and then add Creamy Foamer™ to create foam and add thickeners to adjust the product's texture and thickness.
