Facial Cleanser Ingredients
• Mild amino acid surfactant options
• Start with KWCG-95 (Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Powder)
• Compare glycinate and taurate when the brief requires
• Foaming, gel and cream formats
Provide Market Proven Formulations
• Set pH for the surfactant blend
• Check active and fragrance compatibility
• Build viscosity after surfactant selection
• Validate preservation in the final formula
Mild facial cleansers have to remove makeup, SPF and daily soil without leaving a tight, stripped after-feel—or collapsing foam and viscosity when fragrance and actives are added. Sulfate-heavy chassis are easy to thicken but often miss the “gentle daily wash” brief; amino acid surfactants are a common route for foaming gels, cream cleansers and clear cleansers when mildness and rinse feel are priorities.
INNO supplies amino acid surfactant grades (glutamate, glycinate, taurate and related options) so you can shortlist by chemistry and form, then validate in your own lab. Use this page to pick a starting grade, open the product page, and request a sample.
Recommended grades
| Grade | Name | Why on this shortlist |
|---|---|---|
| KWCG-95 | Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Powder | Common starting grade for mild facial cleanser screening (glutamate powder) |
| KWGC-95 | Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate Powder | Glycinate powder alternative when the brief specifies glycinate foam / rinse character |
| KWSCMT-30 | Liquid Sodium Taurine Cocoyl Methyltaurate | Liquid taurinate option for mild rinse-off systems and easier liquid handling |
Performance, active level and process limits: see each product page / request TDS—do not invent numbers on this application page.
Why these grades fit mild facial cleansers
- Mild-cleansing brief: Amino acid surfactants are widely used when the marketing and sensory target is a gentler daily face wash versus a high-sulfate strip.
- Form flexibility: Powder grades (e.g. KWCG-95) support concentrated or flexible dosing; liquid grades simplify weighing into gel or clear systems.
- Chemistry choice: Glutamate is a practical first screen for soft rinse feel; glycinate or taurate can be added to the shortlist when the brief or benchmark INCI calls for them.
- Series depth: More alaninate, oat/apple amino, silk and isethionate grades live on the amino hub for secondary or specialty directions.

FAQ
Where should I start for a mild amino facial cleanser?
Many projects begin with Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Powder (KWCG-95) as a screening grade, then compare glycinate or taurate options if the brief or benchmark requires them. Confirm details on the product page and via sample / TDS.
Powder or liquid for facial cleansers?
Powder suits flexible active contribution and concentrated bases; liquid grades reduce handling steps in some gel or clear processes. Choose by process and equipment, then validate foam, viscosity and after-feel in the finished formula.
