Cosmetics
Code: 254212
Mild finished daily facial cleanser gel base with amphoteric/anionic surfactants, humectants, panthenol, and niacinamide; use 98-100% as supplied.
Daily Facial Cleanser Gel (Benchmark - Cetaphil) is a mild finished facial cleanser gel designed for daily rinse-off cleansing of normal, dry, combination, and sensitive-feeling skin.
The formula uses an amphoteric/anionic surfactant system with humectant and skin-conditioning support. Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, and Sodium Cocoamphoacetate help provide gentle cleansing and easy rinse-off, while Glycerin, Panthenol, Niacinamide, and Pantolactone help reduce the dry, tight after-feel that can occur with stronger cleansers.
Product Highlights
- Finished daily facial cleanser gel base; use 98-100% as supplied
- Fragrance-free and colorant-free for easy customization
- Mild amphoteric/anionic cleansing system for daily rinse-off use
- Contains Glycerin, Panthenol, Niacinamide, and Pantolactone for a more comfortable post-wash feel
- Clear to slightly opalescent gel texture suitable for pump or squeeze packaging
Product Description
This finished cleanser base is intended for mild daily face-wash products where low irritation potential, clean rinse-off, and a soft post-wash skin feel are important. The surfactant blend combines amphoteric and mild anionic cleansing agents to balance foam, cleansing efficiency, and skin feel.
The base can be used as-is, or lightly customized with compatible fragrance, color, and water-compatible actives while keeping the final product within a mild facial-cleanser pH window.
Formula System
- Cleansing system: Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, and Sodium Cocoamphoacetate provide mild daily cleansing with balanced foam and rinse-off.
- Skin feel support: Glycerin, Panthenol, Niacinamide, and Pantolactone provide humectant and conditioning support for a less tight after-feel.
- Texture and stability: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, and Sodium Benzoate support gel viscosity, pH adjustment, and preservation.
How to Customize
- Use directly as the main finished base, or add compatible customization ingredients slowly with gentle mixing to avoid foam entrainment.
- Keep customization additions low. Fragrance, colorant, or water-compatible active additions should typically stay within the remaining 0-2% of the formula.
- Maintain final pH around 5.0-6.5.
- Re-check viscosity, clarity, odor, preservation compatibility, and skin feel after any adjustment.
Use Level
Recommended use range: 98-100%.

“Ingredient-family evidence for glycerin: topical glycerol improves stratum corneum hydration, barrier function, and skin mechanical properties; evidence is strongest for leave-on exposure, supporting moisturizing after-feel claims in rinse-off cleansers with scope caveat.”
“Ingredient evidence for panthenol/dexpanthenol: topical dexpanthenol functions as a moisturizer by improving stratum corneum hydration, reducing transepidermal water loss, and maintaining skin softness; evidence mainly from leave-on dermatologic products.”
“Ingredient evidence for panthenol/dexpanthenol: dexpanthenol-containing cream enhanced skin barrier repair, increased stratum corneum hydration, and reduced roughness after surfactant-induced irritation; closest support for panthenol in a mild cleanser base.”
“Ingredient evidence for niacinamide: topical niacinamide can stabilize epidermal barrier function, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve surface structure; evidence is mainly leave-on, supporting skin-conditioning rationale in rinse-off cleanser formulas.”
