Replicating a Powder Cleanser Formula

To make your Amino Powder Cleanser formula similar to the reference product, you can add several ingredients to your base. Your Amino Powder Cleanser already provides the core amino acid and coconut-derived surfactants found in the reference formula (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate).

Here are the additional ingredients from the reference formula that you can consider adding, along with available product options:

Some ingredients from the reference formula, such as Carrageenan, Nasturtium officinale extract, and Soymilk ferment filtrate, may not have direct equivalents available. You can explore other ferment filtrates if desired.

Remember to carefully consider the appropriate concentration for each ingredient and ensure proper formulation techniques, including pH adjustment and preservation, when creating your final powder cleanser.
