"Intimate Hygiene Perfume-Free Cleansing Bar"

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 (cetyl alcohol, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, hydrogenated castor oil, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearic acid) 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate Used as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together	23% - 35%
maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil	8.5% - 12.7%
sodium cocoyl isethionate Helps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent	5.3% - 8%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	4% - 6%
water Plain old water	2.7% - 4%
hydrogenated castor oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	2.3% - 3.5%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.8% - 2.7%
alpha-glucan oligosaccharide Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	1.2% - 1.7%
inulin Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking	0.6% - 1.35%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.45% - 1.05%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	0.2% - 0.75%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.1% - 0.5%
titanium dioxide Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	0.15% - 0.6%
