AKA foam cleaning powder is a great way to make your own face cleaner. You may know that facial cleaners usually contain a lot of water and a hard soap to make DIY cleaners very difficult. Also, without the right conservative, a homemade cleaner can grow very quickly to beat its purpose. In addition, when using a soap, you run the risk of stripping and drying your skin. PH is also something to take into account when creating your own cleaners. That everything is said, diy foam cleaning dust is the way to go!
What is dust to clean foam?
A foam dust cleaner is a formulation of dry ingredients, such as clay, herbs, powder -powder, oatmeal, rice powder, milk powder, etc. The foam ingredient of the cleaner is often sodium isometachonate which is a thin powder.
Once you combine and smooth out all your selected ingredients, you end up dust. You usually take out about a teaspoon into a palm, a little water in the other palm, combining with the scrub of both palms together and voila! You have a foam cleaner ideal for removing dirt and face makeup. The more water you add, the more suds you get.
What is so great about dust for foam cleaners is that they remain quite fresh for a long time since the liquid is not added. No preservatives never needed and the mold is not worried unless you get wrong water in your container. Adding water to each use activates the powders.
Another advantage of a dust for foam cleanser is bubbles. Many natural DIY cleaners to have almost no foam. Sodium Cocoyle isthionate really produces a nice foam.
You can remember that I have published 2 other grain cleaning recipes a while ago. They are similar and are not called “foam dust”, however, it is the same basic concept.

What is sodium cocoyl isthionate?
Sodium cocoyl isthionate is a superfluous powder considered natural and polite In DIY SKINCARE. It is made of coconuts. It can be used in, rubbing, cleanser, shaving cream and powder cleaners.
Note that sodium cocoyl isthionate does not dissolve in water, so if used in a wet preparation, it should be dissolved first in another surface.
CAUTION SHOULD BE WORKING THE WORKER IN THIS IS AS A SINTER Dust that is easily inhaled. I do not recommend inhalation-it is a very unpleasant experience. It is recommended to wear dust mask when using it. Now, if you know me at all, you know that I play without rules-lol. I do not wear dust mask, but I do excellent attention and avoid coming very close to this ingredient.

Dust suggestions in foam:
Arglo It is usually the main ingredient of dust to foam formulations. Argils are fantastic for detoxification of the skin. There are a lot of clay to choose from. Some are better for dry, sensitive skin types and others are more suitable for oily skin and problem skin types. My favorite Argilos are kaolin clayFrench green clay and rhassoul clay. These 3 argles are kind and ideal for dry skin. Bentonite’s clay is probably the most popular clay easy to find, but it may be a little tough if you are sensitive and struggling with dryness.
Dried herbs It is a large addition to powder to foam cleaners and offer a wide range of benefits. I always have dried lavender, dried rose petals and buds, dried chamomile and dried calendula in hand. Because they are dry, they remain strong and effective. Each of these herbs can help with the treatment and calm of the skin. I prefer to dry herbs than Mountain herbs.
Oatmeal It’s another favorite of mine because it’s so relaxing. It is ideal for skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.
Milk powder It is a wonderful additive for adding food and hydration.
You can even add a few drops essential oils In your cleanser!

How to make dust:
Smoving your ingredients together is essential to make a thin powder suitable for a powder cleaner. I use my magic sphere, but I also used a coffee grinder and a Vitamix. I like the coffee grinder because I feel like it is doing a more thorough job that has smoothed herbs and oatmeal. I haven’t tried a food processor, but my guess is, it would work well.
Add all your ingredients to the grinder of your choice so that everyone is uniformly mixed. If there is no space in the mill, it is okay to manually mix the ingredients in a bowl or add to a jar and shake.
Be sure to grind your ingredients very well. The thinner the dust, the better.
I suggest that you let the dust sit in the grinder or blender brown for a while before removing the lid. Airborne dust can be a problem with this DIY, especially with sodium cocoyl isetsionate. Be careful not to inhale !!

Powder in foam cleaning basic proportions:
An 80/20 balance is a good place to start with foam cleaners. However, you may want to play with the proportions. In rinsing recipes, you can have up to 50% of the isthionate coral sodium in your recipe.
- 80% dry ingredients (clay, oatmeal, herbs, etc.)
- 20% Cocoyl isthionate sodium
With powdered formulations, it is difficult to estimate how many ingredients need to be used to create some ounces.
My personal recipe is heavy on the clay Kaolin because I want detoxification. The clay pulls the impurities from the skin, so this is a big ingredient for a cleanser. I feel that oat and coconut powder helps to balance detoxification.
I store mine in a 6 -ounce glass jar. I have seen dust pump distributors On Amazon and I am curious if this can be a great way to use a dust to clean foam so you can make sure you have no water in your dust. Comment below if you end up using one!
My dust for foam:
This recipe makes about 4 ounces.
How to use dust to clean foam:
- Take about a teaspoon of dust in a palm.
- Wet your other hand well. *The more water, the more hands.*
- Rub your palms together to create a creamy, sudsy liquid.
- Clean your skin and rinse.
- Watch with toner, serum and moisturizing cream.
You can use this cleaner in the morning and evening if you want. I only use it at night to remove my makeup.
Unfortunately, I can’t talk about how well this cleanser removes the mascara. I use the pipe mascara, so I remove it with water before cleaning my skin. I know it won’t remove the waterproof mascara. My guess is that it will remove the regular mascara. I give you the choice to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of SCI soup depending on how much makeup you wear.
Enjoy the easy cleaning recipe and let me know what you think!
