What an interesting product to pull the curtain back on! I don’t think it’s super-duper DIY-able; a ‘tribute’ sort of product is definitely do-able, but it uses several ingredients we can’t get to structure & solubilize, and without experience with them it’s hard to say exactly how essential they are to the performance of this product.
This formulation was inspired by January’s live ingredient list analysis for Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and I’m really liking it so far!
This one was really fun, especially with the discovery of the re-formulation (thanks, Reddit!). 🕵🏻♀️ That re-formulation is why we’ve got two starter formulation spreadsheets for this analysis—one that’s based on the new ingredient list, and one that’s based on the old ingredient list.
If you’re looking for an ultra-gentle, super inexpensive facial cleanser for any skin type—this is it! You can make a kilo of this cleanser for about $10USD, and all of the ingredients are super versatile, inexpensive, and easy to get 😄
Cleansing balms are a fabulous way to cleanse the skin (they’re especially great for removing long-wearing makeup!), and they’re really easy to make. In this post I’ll teach you how to make three different simple cleansing balm formulations. Each uses just three or four easy-to-get ingredients, and I explain the purpose (and substitution options) for all of them so you’ll understand how cleansing balm formulations work. Let’s get started!
Three super-duper simple cleansing balm formulations that use liquid polysorbate 80 for the rinse-off ingredient. You could definitely experiment with using different liquid anhydrous rinse-off ingredients as an alternative, too!
