Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %75
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Est. %6
Function
Origin
Ammonium Lauryl SulfateA synthetic cleansing ingredient that produces a dense, creamy foam.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Est. %4
Function
Origin
Sodium Laureth SulfateSLES, not to be confused with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), is a synthetic soap-like ingredient used in cleansing products. It foams well and removes oil and dirt. SLES may cause skin dryness and irritation, although it is considered less irritating than SLS.

Fragrance
Est. %1
Function
Origin

PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
Est. %1
Function
Origin
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose DioleateA synthetic thickener often used in cleansing formulations. It can create very thick cleansing products while maintaining foaming ability.
Cocamide DEA
Est. %1
Function
Origin
Cocamide DEA
Phenoxyethanol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Sodium Chloride
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Sodium Chloride

You’re definitely familiar with sodium chloride, even if you don’t think you are. It’s table salt! Salt works well with some cleansing ingredients (surfactants) to thicken them into gels. It also acts as a stabilizer for water-in-oil emulsions.

Sodium Benzoate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Sodium BenzoateA preservative that usually works in combination with other preservatives. It has to be at low pH (<5.5) to be effective.
Citric Acid
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Citric AcidA gently exfoliating AHA that helps to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. In comparison to other AHAs, citric acid has been shown to be one of the least effective. It is also very commonly used as a stabilizing and pH-controlling agent.

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract
Potassium Sorbate

Function
Origin
Tristearyl Citrate
Butylene Glycol

Triethanolamine
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
