Question
Could you provide a formula for a liquid foaming facial cleanser that has a pearly white appearance, helps reduce acne, effectively removes makeup, produces high foam, and leaves the skin feeling soft after rinsing? I'm looking for a formula incorporating ingredients like `emulPearl™` for the pearly effect and `HyaCoat™ (Cationic Hyaluronic Acid)` for skin conditioning, similar to the ingredients previously discussed for achieving these properties.
Answer
Pearly White Acne-Reducing Foaming Cleanser Formula
Here is a suggested formula to create a pearly white, acne-reducing, makeup-removing, high-foaming, and skin-softening cleanser based on your requirements and the previous discussion.
This formula aims for a liquid texture with a pearly appearance.
Ingredients:
- Sulfate Free Shampoo Base: 30-35% (Provides foaming and cleaning)
- Coco Wash: 3-5% (Adds gentleness and helps with makeup removal)
- Glycerin: 5% (Acts as a humectant for skin hydration and softness)
- emulPearl™: 5-7% (Creates the pearly white appearance)
- HyaCoat™ (Cationic Hyaluronic Acid): 0.1-0.2% (Provides skin softness and conditioning after rinsing)
- Liquid Salicylic Acid (40% Active Salicylic): 2.5-5% (For acne reduction, equivalent to 1-2% active Salicylic Acid)
- Mild Preserve Eco: 1% (Preservative)
- Purified Water: Balance to 100%
Instructions:
- In a container, combine Purified Water and HyaCoat™. Stir or blend until HyaCoat™ is fully dissolved.
- Add Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, Coco Wash, Glycerin, and Mild Preserve Eco to the water mixture. Stir gently to incorporate without creating too much foam.
- Add Liquid Salicylic Acid (40% Active Salicylic) and stir until evenly distributed.
- Finally, add emulPearl™ and stir until the mixture has a uniform pearly white appearance.
- Check the pH of the final product and adjust if necessary to a skin-friendly range (typically pH 5.5-6.5).
Notes:
- Adjust the percentage of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base within the suggested range to achieve your desired level of foam.
- Adjust the percentage of Liquid Salicylic Acid (40% Active Salicylic) based on the desired strength for acne treatment (2.5% for 1% active, 5% for 2% active).
- Xanthan Gum is not included in this formula as it is typically used for gel textures and may interfere with the pearly liquid appearance.
- Scrub beads are not included as they were not specified for the modified formula and may settle in a liquid cleanser.
