Cleansing Powder Formula Questions

Here are the answers to your questions regarding the cleansing powder formula and cream makers, based on the information provided:

1) Cleansing Powder

• Is corn starch the same as cooking corn starch? Are there alternatives?
  Yes, the corn starch used is the same type as cooking corn starch. You can use other powders as alternatives, such as clay powders used for face/body masks or activated charcoal powder, depending on the desired properties and concept for your product. CornThick™ (Corn Starch Modified For Gelling) is another modified starch option.

• Can Amino Powder Cleanser be used alone to make a liquid face wash? What ratio should be used?
  Yes, Amino Powder Cleanser can be used to make a liquid face wash by mixing it with water. However, it may not be cost-effective due to its higher price compared to other surfactants commonly used in liquid cleansers. Additionally, amino acid-based surfactants tend to produce a cloudy texture when mixed with water, which might not be visually appealing for a clear liquid wash. Using other, less expensive surfactants can help create a clear, more desirable liquid texture.

• Vitamin B5 is liquid; won't it clump the powder? Are there alternatives for moisture?
  Liquid Vitamin B5 (like D-Panthenol Care) can be mixed into the powder formula. If clumping occurs during mixing, you can use a regular food blender to blend the mixture briefly until it becomes a fine powder again. If you prefer to avoid liquid ingredients altogether while still adding moisturizing properties, you can explore other powder ingredients that offer skin conditioning benefits. Panthenol (Vitamin B5, DL-Panthenol, Powder) is also available in powder form and is easily water-soluble.

• How to use the cleansing powder (mix with water first or apply to damp face)?
  You can use the cleansing powder in both ways. It dissolves easily in water, so you can either mix it with water in your hands to create a lather before applying to your face, or apply the powder directly onto a damp face and gently rub to create foam.

2) Rich Cream Maker / Easy Cream Maker

• Are Rich cream maker and Easy cream maker the same product?
  No, Rich cream maker and Easy cream maker™ are different products. While their INCI names might appear similar or contain similar components, they are developed to provide different textures and properties in formulations.
