  • What surfactant to make a 5-10% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser foam?

    Posted by zink on April 28, 2021 at 8:50 am

    Benzoyl Peroxide seems to reduce foaming substantially, is there any way to still get some foaming with 5 or 10% Benzyol Peroxied?

    It seems like Cerave’s 4% BP cleanser foams a bit, using COCAMIDOPROPYL HYDROXYSULTAINE, SODIUM C14-16 OLEFIN SULFONATE, whereas Panoxyls 10% foaming cleanser with decyl glucoside does not according to reviews. The difference could stem from the amount of BP used or the difference in surfactants.

    Any ideas?
