Gel Scrub Formulation (Wash-Off, Non-Peeling)

To create a wash-off gel scrub that helps make skin clear and smooth without being a peeling gel, you can combine a gel-forming agent with a physical exfoliant.

Here's a general approach:

1. Choose a Gel Base: Use a gel-forming ingredient to create the base texture. Options include:

   • Sponge Gel: This creates an opaque gel that absorbs water and releases it on the skin for a refreshing feel. It's easy to disperse in water.
   • Reshape Gel™: This forms a non-sticky, viscous gel that absorbs well into the skin. It can be used in water-based formulas.

2. Add a Physical Scrub: Incorporate a physical exfoliant into the gel base. These ingredients gently buff away dead skin cells when the product is massaged onto the skin and then washed off. Consider options like:

   • CelluScrub™ Max: A natural cellulose powder with abrasive properties for effective exfoliation.
   • Rice Scrub (Water-Proof): Sterilized rice powder that is water-proof and comes in different mesh sizes for varying exfoliation levels.
   • Sugarcane Scrub: Sterilized sugarcane powder also available in different mesh sizes.

How it works: The gel base provides the texture and allows the scrub particles to be suspended and applied smoothly. When you massage the gel onto your skin, the scrub particles physically exfoliate the surface. The gel base then allows the product, along with the exfoliated skin cells, to be easily washed away, leaving the skin feeling smoother and looking clearer.

Remember to follow the usage rate and mixing instructions for each specific ingredient you choose.
