Cosmetic Recipe: "Mango Kiss" Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser

Create a luxurious, gentle foaming face cleanser using RESSASOL Mango, perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, pump bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Water Phase): In a clean beaker, disperse xanthan gum into glycerin, stirring well to form a lump-free slurry. Slowly add the distilled water while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk until a clear, homogeneous gel forms. This might take a few minutes.
3. Prepare Phase B (Surfactant Phase): In a separate clean beaker, combine RESSASOL Mango and Coco-Glucoside. Stir gently to combine.
4. Combine Phases A and B: Slowly add the surfactant mixture (Phase B) to the water phase (Phase A) while stirring gently to avoid excessive foaming. Continue stirring until fully incorporated and homogeneous.
5. Cool Down and Add Phase C: Allow the mixture to cool to below 40°C (104°F). Once cooled, add Panthenol, Allantoin, and your chosen preservative. Stir thoroughly after each addition to ensure even distribution.
6. Check and Adjust pH: Test the pH of your finished cleanser. The ideal pH for a facial cleanser is typically between 5.0 and 6.0, which is gentle on the skin's acid mantle. If the pH is too high (above 6.0), add a few drops of diluted Lactic Acid at a time, mixing well and re-checking pH until the desired range is reached.
7. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished cleanser into a clean, sterile pump bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: The 6% concentration of RESSASOL Mango in this recipe provides excellent foaming and cleansing properties while remaining gentle. Adjust the percentage (as per "Percentage of Input" section) based on the specific product type (e.g., 2% for micellar water, 4-5% for baby cleansers).
• Temperature Sensitivity: RESSASOL Mango is stable, but for optimal formula integrity, it's generally best to add it to the main phase after any high-heat processes, or at room temperature. Active ingredients in Phase C should always be added below 40°C.
• Solubility: Ensure thorough mixing as RESSASOL Mango is water-soluble but not oil-soluble. If incorporating oils, use a suitable solubilizer.
• Foaming Properties: For optimal foam, use a foaming pump bottle. The gentle nature of RESSASOL Mango makes it suitable for everyday use.
• Storage: Store the finished cleanser in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy and extend shelf life. The preservative is crucial for microbial stability.
• Application: Dispense a small amount onto wet hands, lather, and gently massage onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to an ingredient.
