Cosmetic Recipe: "Ocean Breeze" Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser

Create a refreshing and gentle facial cleanser that subtly exfoliates the skin, leaving it soft and smooth, using our Marine Mix Exfoliating Granules.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A: In a clean beaker, disperse the xanthan gum into the glycerin. Stir well to create a slurry (this helps prevent clumping). Then, slowly add the distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum slurry while continuously stirring until the gum is fully hydrated and the solution is smooth and thickened.
3. Combine Phase B: In a separate beaker, gently combine your chosen mild surfactants (Coco Glucoside, Decyl Glucoside).
4. Combine A & B: Slowly add Phase A into Phase B while stirring gently to avoid excessive foaming. Continue stirring until well combined and uniform.
5. Incorporate Phase C: Gently fold in the Marine Mix Exfoliating Granules. Stir just enough to evenly disperse them. If using, also add Elderberry Extract Concentrate and Allantoin and stir until dissolved.
6. Add Phase D: Add your broad-spectrum preservative and chosen fragrance oil to the mixture. Stir well for a few minutes to ensure even distribution.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your cleanser. For facial cleansers, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished cleanser into a suitable container, such as a pump bottle or squeeze tube.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Inclusion Rate: The recommended inclusion rate for Marine Mix Exfoliating Granules is 1-3% for a gentle exfoliant. You can increase up to 5% for a more vigorous scrub, but always test on a small area first.
• Mixing: When incorporating the granules, stir gently to ensure even dispersion without crushing them. Avoid high-shear mixing after adding the granules.
• Consistency: The texture of your finished product (e.g., a gel, cream, or liquid cleanser) will determine how the granules are suspended. Thicker formulations will generally hold the granules better.
• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The unlimited shelf life of the granules refers to their raw state; the shelf life of your finished product will depend on your preservative system and other ingredients.
• Rinsing: Always instruct users to rinse thoroughly after using exfoliating products to remove all granules and dead skin cells.
• Frequency of Use: Advise users to start with 2-3 times a week and adjust based on skin sensitivity and needs. For daily use, keep the granule concentration very low (e.g., 0.5-1%).
