How to Make Powder Foam Cleanser
Powder foam cleanser, as the staff member correctly identified, is a dry powder product that creates foam when mixed with water for cleansing the face or body.
The key to making a powder foam cleanser is using powdered detergent ingredients that are gentle on the skin. These are combined with other powder ingredients like fillers or starches.
A good example of a product designed for this purpose is Amino Powder Cleanser. It contains gentle detergent ingredients derived from amino acids and coconut, such as Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate.
A basic concept for a powder foam cleanser formulation involves:
- Powdered Detergent(s): Provides the cleansing and foaming action (e.g., Amino Powder Cleanser).
- Filler/Starch: Helps absorb moisture and provides bulk (e.g., Corn Starch Powder).
- Optional Additives: Such as vitamins (e.g., Vitamin B5) or exfoliants, depending on the desired properties.
Since the formula is in powder form without water, it typically does not require preservatives.
