Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %80
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.
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Est. %6
Function
Origin
Sodium C14-16 Olefin SulfonateAn anionic surfactant alternative to sulfates with an excellent foaming profile.

Propylene Glycol
Est. %3

Phenoxyethanol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Fragrance
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract
Est. %0.3
