Question

How to formulate a gentle foam cleanser using a sulfate-free base like Sulfate Free No-Tear Shampoo Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming), including suggested usage percentage and potential additives for detoxifying or nourishing properties?

Answer

The staff has informed that they cannot provide a formula identical to the original product without the ingredient list. However, I can suggest a general approach and basic ingredients for a gentle foam cleanser that can be adapted to create a similar product.

A gentle cleansing base that creates good foam is a key component for a foam cleanser. These bases help cleanse the skin without causing irritation.

Based on the information found, an interesting product is Sulfate Free No-Tear Shampoo Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming). This is a sulfate-free cleansing base with a pH close to that of the skin (pH 6.5-7.5) and provides good foaming. It is suitable for products requiring high gentleness, such as baby shampoo or facial cleansing products.

You can use this base as a starting point for developing a foam cleanser formula. You might use it at a concentration of approximately 25-40%, mixed with distilled water, and add other desired ingredients such as natural extracts with detoxifying or skin-nourishing properties, as well as necessary preservatives.

Please note that this base focuses on gentle cleansing properties. If you want specific "detoxifying" properties, you will need to add ingredients with such properties to the formula.
