Sunscreen and Facial Foam Recommendations for Vietnam Market

Here are some formulation recommendations for sunscreen and facial foam suitable for the Vietnamese market, focusing on a non-drying facial foam.

Sunscreen Formulations

For sunscreen, considering the climate in Vietnam, light texture and high protection are key. We recommend bases that offer excellent UV protection without feeling heavy or sticky:

• Fluid Light Sunscreen (Compare to Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk N SPF50+/PA++++): This base offers a light texture and high SPF/PA protection, similar to a very popular product known for its comfortable feel for daily use.
• Light Invisible Sunscreen (Compare to Loreal UV Defender Invisible Fluid): Provides high SPF 50+ and PA++++ with a light, serum-like texture that leaves no residue.
• Fluid Extreme Sunscreen (Ultra High/Broad Protection, Compare to La Roche UVMUNE400): For very high and broad-spectrum protection with a light, non-sticky, water-based feel.

These bases allow for customization by adding desired scents or active ingredients.

Non-Drying Facial Foam Formulations

To create a facial foam that is gentle and does not dry out the skin, focusing on mild surfactants and moisturizing ingredients is important:

• AminoWash™ (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Fine): This is a gentle, amino acid-derived surfactant that creates a soft, pleasant foam and does not dry out the face. It has a skin-friendly pH.
• Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate: Another gentle, amino acid-derived surfactant known for moisturizing properties and providing a good lather.

To further enhance the non-drying property and support the skin barrier, consider adding:

• Ceracare™ Wash-5 (Ceramide Depositing Lipid Particle): These ceramide particles can be added to wash-off formulations like facial cleansers. They help deposit ceramides on the skin during washing, reducing irritation and dryness caused by surfactants and supporting the skin barrier.

Combining gentle surfactants like AminoWash™ or Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate with Ceracare™ Wash-5 can result in a very mild and moisturizing facial cleansing product suitable for those concerned about dryness.
