Pearly Foaming Cleanser Formula for Acne, Makeup Removal, and Soft Skin

Asked by: luke.toow On: May 07, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

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:

  1. In a container, combine Purified Water and HyaCoat™. Stir or blend until HyaCoat™ is fully dissolved.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Liquid Salicylic Acid (40% Active Salicylic) and stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Finally, add emulPearl™ and stir until the mixture has a uniform pearly white appearance.
  5. 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.
