Powder Cleanser Formulation: Amino Wash, Baby Foam, and Powder Ingredients

Regarding your questions about the powder cleanser formulation using Amino Wash and Baby Foam:

1. Ratio of Amino Wash and Baby Foam: There is no fixed ratio for Amino Wash (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Product ID 513) and Baby Foam (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Baby Foam, Product ID 512). Amino Wash provides both cleaning and foam, while Baby Foam primarily enhances foam. You should adjust the ratio based on your desired level of cleaning strength and foaminess.
2. Purpose of Corn Starch: Corn starch is added to the formula for two main reasons:
   • To dilute the concentrated surfactants, making the cleanser milder.
   • To help absorb excess oil from the skin.
3. Using only Amino Wash: Yes, you can use only Amino Wash (Product ID 513) without adding corn starch or other powders.
4. Suitability for All Skin Types: If the surfactant blend (Amino Wash and/or Baby Foam) is used without sufficient dilution from powders like corn starch or talc, it can be quite concentrated. Concentrated cleansers might be too strong and potentially drying for some skin types, leading to a tight feeling after washing. Dilution with powders helps make the formula milder and more suitable for a wider range of skin types.
5. Using Talc instead of Corn Starch: It is believed that Talc (Silk Talc Powder, Product ID 283) can be used as a substitute for corn starch for dilution, but this has not been specifically tested by the staff, so they cannot confirm its effectiveness or suitability definitively.
