This formulation is designed as a starting point.

Small adjustments to ingredient levels will influence texture, absorption, and overall skin feel. Work within recommended usage ranges and adjust gradually.  

Check ingredient compatibility, pH, and preservation once the full system is assembled.

Cream cleansers combine a light emulsion system with low levels of surfactant to achieve gentle cleansing without excessive foaming. 

The oil phase provides slip and helps dissolve surface impurities, while the surfactant system supports rinse-off. Keeping surfactant levels low is important to maintain skin comfort and avoid a stripped feeling after use. 

Structure is created using a combination of emulsifier and fatty alcohols. Adjusting these levels will influence viscosity, richness, and rinse behaviour.

This type of system should remain fluid enough to spread easily, but structured enough to remain stable during storage.

pH should be maintained within a skin-compatible range to support barrier function.
