Formulation view Powder cleanser uses corn starch carrier with mild cocoyl isethionate and amino acid surfactants. Five ceramides, multi-weight hyaluronic acids, and niacinamide support barrier, paired with papain for gentle exfoliation. Suitable for mixed to sensitive skin. Formulators note the lack of liquid preservatives; starch is hygroscopic, requiring airtight packaging to prevent caking and maintain efficacy.

Ingredients explained

Zea Mays Starch

Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Papain

Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.

Bifida Ferment Filtrate

Ferment filtrate with prebiotics/metabolites for conditioning; high sterility requirements.

Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate

Lactococcus lysate; provides amino acids and polysaccharides for moisture, fermentation reduces allergens.

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate

Lactobacillus ferment lysate for skin conditioning; provides soothing and hydration, low sensitization risk if sterile.

Lactobacillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Potassium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic salt, excellent humectant; efficacy varies with MW, best with occlusive base

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
