It is important to choose the right exfoliating formula. This helps make effective private label cosmetics and exfoliants. Alpha Hydroxy Acids belong to the hydroxy acids family. Beta hydroxycarboxylic Acid is also part of this group. They help with skin cell renewal by loosening dead skin cells.

AHAs like glycolic acid, fruit acids, and polyhydroxy acid improve skin tone and reduce dark spots. They also support healthy cell turnover. BHAs such as salicylic acid go deeper to remove pore-clogging debris. They help reduce acne scars and smooth uneven texture.

Understanding AHA benefits

AHAs work on the skin’s surface through chemical exfoliation. They are exfoliating agents that dissolve in water. Cosmetic formulas use them. Common options include fruit enzymes, pumpkin puree, and blueberry fruit extract. These target UV damage, dryness, and uneven tone.

AHAs blend well with essential oils and plant extracts. Licorice extract or sea fennel can soothe skin during exfoliation. AHA products should stay in the right pH range to keep their keratolytic properties. This also improves stability and safety.

When to Use BHA for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

BHAs like salicylic acid are oil-soluble and work best for oily or acne-prone skin type. They perform well in liquid exfoliant products and exfoliating cleansers. This makes them a strong choice for clogged pores and excess oil.

Companies often mix BHA formulas with gentle plant ingredients. They do this in contract manufacturing. This helps offset dryness. BHAs also pair with polyhydroxy acid or fruit acids for extra benefits. They clean deep within follicles to improve texture.

Physical exfoliation options

Physical exfoliating agents work by scrubbing away buildup. Options include jojoba beads, bamboo powder, coffee grounds, and ground-up shells. You can also use plant kernels, silica powder, and polylactic acid beads.

These appear in facial scrubs, exfoliating gel, cleansing gel, scalp sugar scrub, and hair scrubs. Physical exfoliants can pair with chemical exfoliants for balanced results. In cosmetic manufacturing, this approach creates both instant and lasting effects.

Formulation and stability considerations

When you research and develop exfoliants formulation, you must plan for stability and safety. Use suspending agents like sodium bicarbonate or sclerotium gum. Test every batch to make sure it stays effective.

Match the active acid to the best pH range for performance. Adding sugarcane extract or other plant extracts can increase skin benefits. These extras also help improve the user experience.
