Main Ingredients for Pearly, Thick Cream Facial Foam Base

To create a facial foam with a glossy, pearly look and a thick cream texture, you will need a combination of ingredients that provide cleansing, pearlescence, and thickening properties.

Key components typically include:

• Surfactants: These are the main cleansing agents that create foam. Gentle surfactants are preferred for facial cleansers. Examples include Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (like BabyFoam™) and Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate.
• Pearlizing Agent: To achieve the pearly or lustrous appearance. emulPearl™ (Pearlizer, Dispersed Liquid) is suitable for liquid soap products like facial cleansers.
• Thickeners/Stabilizers: To give the base a thick, creamy texture and improve stability. Ingredients like Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, and FaceFoam-LC™ (Crystal Thickener for Surfactant) can help achieve the desired consistency.

By combining appropriate surfactants with a pearlizing agent and thickeners, you can formulate a facial foam base with the desired pearly, thick cream texture.
