Gentle Acne Facial Foam Formula

To create a gentle facial foam formula that helps with acne, you can start with a mild cleansing base and add active ingredients that target acne.

One excellent option for a gentle base is Amino Powder Cleanser. This product is a powder base made from amino acids and coconut-derived detergents, known for their exceptional gentleness on the skin. It has a slightly acidic pH (5-6), which is beneficial for maintaining the skin's natural barrier. You can mix this powder with water to create a foam.

Basic Formula using Amino Powder Cleanser:

• Amino Powder Cleanser: 70-80%
• Other powders (e.g., Corn Starch Powder): 20-30%

• Acne-fighting active ingredient (e.g., Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Extract, or an anti-acne complex): Add according to the recommended usage rate of the specific active ingredient.

• (Note: This is a basic powder formula. To make a liquid foam, you would mix the powder base with water and potentially add thickeners or stabilizers, along with the active ingredient and preservative.)*

Alternatively, you can use a ready-to-use gentle liquid base that already contains acne-fighting ingredients. SA Smoothing Cleanser (Compare to Cerave, Salicylic Acid 0.5%) is a gentle liquid cleanser base containing 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ceramides, designed for acne-prone skin. You can use this base directly or add other compatible ingredients as desired.

Both options provide a gentle approach to cleansing while incorporating ingredients to help manage acne.
