Post-Workout Deep Cleansing & Moisturizing Foam Formula Guidance

For a facial foam designed for post-workout use that cleans deeply yet leaves skin moisturized, the key is to select the right types of ingredients. While we cannot provide exact percentage formulations, we can guide you on the types of ingredients and provide examples available in our database.

To achieve deep cleansing without stripping moisture, a good formula should include:

• Gentle Surfactants: These clean effectively but are mild on the skin, preserving its natural barrier. Look for amino acid-based surfactants or other gentle options. Examples include:

  • AminoWash™ (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate)
  • Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
  • Potassium Myristoyl Glutamate
  • Laureth-7 Citrate

• Humectants: These ingredients attract and retain moisture in the skin, preventing the dry, tight feeling after washing. Examples include:

  • MOIST72™
  • MOIST24
  • Diglycerin
  • Potassium Lactate

• Soothing Agents: After physical activity, skin might feel slightly irritated. Soothing agents help calm the skin. Examples include:

  • Pep-Calm™ (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8)
  • Portulaca Extract

By combining gentle cleansing agents with effective humectants and soothing ingredients, you can create a facial foam that provides thorough post-workout cleaning while ensuring the skin remains comfortable and hydrated.
