Key actives
Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Volcanic Ash Gel Cleanser
Source: Ulta
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, hydroxypropyl guar, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions
Helps oil and water mix together
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Gentle Daily Exfoliation: Sugar maple-derived alpha hydroxy acid helps lift dull buildup and smooth texture without the harsh feel of a gritty scrub.
Source: Ulta
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
