Gentle Cleansing Lab

Learn to formulate the most modern and gentle facial cleansers

Online workshop • Available to everyone • Price: €35

Why cleaning in February?

After winter stress and a compromised barrier, skin needs cleansing that doesn’t strip, irritate, or disrupt its natural balance. That’s why we’re dedicating February to modern, gentle, and barrier-friendly formulations that respect the skin and leave it soft, soothed, and hydrated.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who wants to understand what true, effective, and gentle skin cleansing means in 2026 – whether you are a formulator beginner, an advanced formulator, or a brand owner.

What will you learn?

The workshop is led by Mirela Ilenić , formulator and educator with 25 years of experience in the development of cosmetic products.

You will learn:

✔ the difference between mild and aggressive surfactants
✔ how to formulate products that cleanse without disrupting the barrier
✔ how to design a modern sensory texture (gel, jelly, milk, balm)
✔ how to make cleansers that are suitable for sensitive and reactive skin
✔ how to choose the optimal humectants and lipids for cleansing
✔ how to set up a morning and evening cleansing routine

All lessons are applicable from day one; whether you’re making cosmetics for yourself, your clients, or your brand.

What do we make in the workshop?

This is one of the most creative and practical workshops of the year.
You learn to formulate 4 modern products that are at the very top of skincare trends:

1. Velvet Amino Gel Cleanser

Ultra-gentle gel based on amino surfactants. Cleanses without drying and leaves skin soft as velvet.

2. Cloud Micellar Milk

A milk that transforms into a soft, airy foam upon contact with water. Ideal for dry, sensitive and tired skin.

3. Hydra Jelly Cleanser

A clear, hydrating “jelly cleanser” trend that K-beauty brands love. Perfect for a gentle morning cleanse.

4. Silk Melt Cleansing Balm

A solid balm that melts on the skin and creates a milky emulsion. The gentlest way to remove SPF and makeup, without friction or irritation.
