This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydrogenated lecithin, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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.

hydrogenated lecithin 0.1% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.

sodium cocoyl glycinate 4.1% - 6.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps oil and water mix together

sodium lauroyl glutamate 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used as a cleansing agent. It creates foam

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Purifying exfoliating face cleanser

Source: From product name

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.

sea salt 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
