Facial Cleansing meets Transforming textures

Facial Cleansing meets Transforming textures
Facial Cleansing meets Transforming textures

Texture is a key driver in facial skincare, meaning consumers want products that not only provide results but also feel good to apply.

The latest generation of facial cleansers, such as our Foaming Cleansing Powder, introduces transformative textures with great sensory benefits and fits perfectly with the more eco-conscious consumer.

Based on our anionic surfactant Texapon® SFA UP Powder1, the powder turns into a gentle, creamy foaming cleanser when diluted in water. Thanks to our COSMOS approved biopolymers Verdessence™ Xanthan and Verdessence™ RiceTouch, this formulation offers an alternative to synthetic polymers and leaves a smooth and powdery light skin feel with a mattifying effect. Enriched with our active ingredients, Bix’Activ® and Lipofructyl® Argan, this cleanser not only helps to remove excess oil and dirt, but helps to make the skin look clearer, and to feel comfortably cleansed and refreshed.

With this texture in powder, one step closer to #zero waste!
