Gentle Powder to Foam Cleanser Recipe

A mild, creamy powder cleanser that transforms into a soft foam when mixed with water. Suitable for facial and body use.

Ingredients:

• 55g Fine SCI Powder (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) – gentle cleansing and foam
• 20g Colloidal Oatmeal – soothing and skin conditioning
• 8g Buttermilk Powder – adds a creamy skin feel
• 10g Kaolin Clay – gentle cleansing and improves slip
• 6g Arrowroot Powder or Cornstarch – improves texture and flow
• Up to 0.5–1g fragrance or essential oil (optional)

Method:

1. Wear a mask while handling SCI powder as fine particles may become airborne.
2. Sieve all powders separately to remove lumps.
3. If using fragrance or essential oils, first mix them thoroughly into the kaolin clay to help distribute evenly.
4. Combine all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until uniform.
5. Transfer into an airtight container or shaker bottle. Store away from humidity and moisture.

Directions for Use:

Sprinkle a small amount into dry hands, add water and rub between palms to create a creamy foam. Apply to damp skin, massage gently and rinse well.

Notes:

• Keep the product dry to prevent clumping.
• Use moisture-resistant packaging for better shelf life.
• Increase SCI to 60–65% for more foam.
• Lower buttermilk powder if you live in humid conditions to reduce moisture absorption.
• No preservative is normally required as this is a dry product with no added water.
