gentle facial cleanser for sensitive skin OEM/ODM Amino Acid Facial Cleanser Expert | Custom Formulas

The formulation of a gentle facial cleanser for sensitive skin at INTE Cosmetics is a science dedicated to minimizing potential triggers for inflammation or discomfort. We engineer these cleansers with a pH that closely matches the skin's natural acid mantle (around pH 5.5) to avoid disruption of the cutaneous microbiome and barrier function. Our surfactant systems are often based on Amino Acid technology, such as Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate or Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, which provide a rich, creamy lather that is exceptionally mild and non-drying. These are frequently formulated in a lotion or milk format to enhance the gentle sensory experience. Furthermore, we avoid sulfates, alcohols, and synthetic dyes. A successful project was a micellar water-style cleanser we developed that utilized a very mild nonionic surfactant (Poloxamer 184) to gently lift away makeup and impurities without the need for rubbing, paired with Licorice Root Extract to provide anti-inflammatory benefits. This product was designed for use on even the most delicate skin types and was validated through clinical instrumental analysis showing no increase in erythema or TEWL after use.
