Cleansing solutions for all skin types
As skin care continues to dominate as the priority for consumers, brand and formulators are faced with increasing expectations to develop the next cleansing solution for the face and body. Hitting the mark on cleansing can be challenging—the goal is to offer a refreshing sensory experience with great texture, while purifying and enhancing the skin without stripping or over-drying.
Gone are the days when consumers were happy with just a standard cleanser that had a nice lather and effectively removed dirt and debris. Today’s cleansers offer unique benefits, and focused solutions for specific skin challenges while addressing consumers’ desire to know what kinds of surfactants, emollients and actives are in their products. The Clean Beauty Movement has driven ingredient literacy to an all-time high, and creating cleansing solutions that appeal to a wide consumer base requires a thoughtful approach.
