"Soy Face Cleanser"

From product name

WIMJ summary

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, glyceryl stearate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20, xanthan gum) 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.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
coco-glucoside Used as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating	9.2% - 11.2%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4.2% - 5.1%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	3.1% - 3.8%
peg-7 glyceryl cocoate	2.3% - 2.8%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	1.9% - 2.3%
glycine soja oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function	1.6% - 1.9%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	1.5% - 1.9%
borago officinalis seed oil A plant oil that is effective in reducing irritation in skin, restore the barrier function and support its hydration	1.2% - 1.5%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	0.95% - 1.15%
cucumis sativus fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect	0.7% - 1.05%
rosa damascena extract	0.55% - 0.8%
rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating	0.5% - 0.75%

glycine soja sterols An emollient that helps soften the skin	0.5% - 0.7%

malva sylvestris flower extract Used as a fragrance	0.35% - 0.6%

ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.	0.3% - 0.55%
