🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Pick a format that fits your routine—powder for travel and light polish; gel for sink-side daily use.
- For R&D / Formulation: Tune charcoal (0.2–0.6%) and neem (1–3% extract) for skin type; swap kaolin↔multani for sensitivity; adjust surfactant to 8–12% for foam feel.
- For Small Business: Offer both: “Detox Powder Cleanser” and “Detox Gel Cleanser.” Provide clear usage cards and patch-test guidance.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Powder blend: Airtight, dry, and cool; best within 6–9 months. Use a dry spoon only.
Gel cleanser: With correct preservation and hygiene, best within 3–4 months. Do not contaminate the dispenser.
💡 Pro Tips
- Sensitive skin: halve charcoal; choose kaolin only; keep gel surfactant near 8–10%.
- Extra freshness: activate powder with rose water or green-tea instead of plain water.
- Makeup days: do a short double cleanse—gel first, then the powder as a brief polish.
🌿 Why This Works
Charcoal helps lift surface oils and debris; Neem supports a clearer-looking complexion. Clays + rice/oats add a soft-focus polish, while aloe + panthenol keep the finish calm and comfortable.
⚠️ Note
- External use only. Patch-test before first use.
- Avoid the immediate eye area. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
