Question

What is a recommended gentle cleansing formula for newborns, specifically using ingredients that bind to oils rather than stripping the skin? Could you suggest specific ingredients and their recommended usage percentages for such a formula?

Answer

Gentle Cleansing Formula for Newborns

For a very gentle skin cleansing formula suitable for newborns, consider using mild surfactants that work by binding to oils on the skin rather than stripping it. This approach is very gentle and ideal for delicate skin.

Based on the recommendation, you can use:

  • Coco Wash™ (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) at 5%
  • MakeUp-Wash™ (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides) at 5%

Combine these two ingredients in your formulation. Please note that a formula using these types of surfactants will typically not produce foam.
