Colour references and sensory targets for your next matched lab comparison.
01 · ColourColour target still open
Light mineral starting point for choosing a target. This is not a prediction of this formula's colour. Select a reference below.
Choose a colour reference
Colour examples guide your choice. Confirm the colour in your complete formula; the images do not predict the result.
Source photograph · The closest original mild rinse-off image shows how the material changes in the complete gel and after foaming. The image does not change with your dose or target.Use it to set a comparison question only; the target colour must be confirmed in the selected sensitive-skin base.02 · Touch & feelLow-to-moderate foam, easy rinse and a comfortable, non-stripped after-feel target.
01Soft gel or milk pick-up
02Low-to-moderate foam with easy glide
03Comfortable, non-stripped rinse
Test these targets in the same base with and without AHE. They are not measured results for your formula.
03 · Odour / flavour
01Assess in pack
02Check water-activated odour during cleansing
03Confirm a quiet post-rinse profile
Compare the odour of samples with and without AHE before choosing fragrance or flavour. Keep the sample identities hidden during assessment.
The complete fragrance / flavour composition must be confirmed with the formulation package.

No verified complete public formula for this exact format
The format architecture is available below. A quantitative formula is deliberately not invented where the current public source does not support one.
Use the closest documented route below and request the current matched formulation package. This protects the formulator from a polished but unsupported recipe.

Quiet Mineral Cleanser
Does the selected AHE level achieve subtle translucent colour, gentle wash phase, easy rinse and non-stripped feel in the complete Gentle cleanser?

Study results are available for a specific formula. Your own formula needs separate testing.
ComparisonWithout AHE → with AHE
Compare the same base without AHE and with the AHE amount chosen for your product.

Test labels: C0 means the base without AHE; T1 means the matching base with AHE.
Closest because the same finished-product format has a documented AHE context.

Vehicle, opacity, pigments, AHE level, process and use state shape the finished expression.

What this proves: a dark ingredient does not force one dark finished-product aesthetic. What it does not prove: a universal shade prediction. Confirm colour in the matched batch under fixed lighting.

For the R&D team turning an idea into its own base
Keep the material and process choices visible.
Six parameters connect the creative direction to the complete base while ingredient specification, guide experience and finished-product responsibilities remain separate.
Current ingredient specification
Request current version
Use the controlled specification applicable to the project and supplied material.
Formulation vehicle
Define the complete system
Vehicle, water phase, rheology and other materials can change dispersion and appearance.
Addition and process
Confirm for the format
Review order of addition, temperature history, shear and homogenisation for the complete formula.
Colour and texture
Evaluate in the exact base
AHE load, base colour, opacity, particle distribution and packaging visibility shape the final expression.
Low-viscosity formats
Plan physical stability
Assess settling, redispersion, use instructions and packaging in the target system.
Finished product
Validate independently
Confirm stability, microbiology, safety, packaging, performance and claims.

Controlled handover from concept to validation
Four gates keep a precedent from becoming an unsupported promise.
Define, select, introduce and validate—then carry the finished brief into the responsible project review.
01
Define
Set format, target market, sensory direction and evidence question.
02
Select
Choose the closest published precedent within its actual context.
03
Introduce
Add AHE according to the formula-specific phase and process.
04
Validate
Test the complete product, packaging and intended market communication.
