Balancing Cleansing Gel

Source: From product name

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl glucoside, lysolecithin, 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.

cetearyl glucoside 3.2% - 4.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture

lysolecithin 0.2% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Lecithin derivative. It helps oil and water mix together and can enhance penetration of other ingredients. It helps soften the upper layer of the skin

xanthan gum 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Used to create a thicker product consistency

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

A light weight moisturiser for oily, blemished and acne-prone skin.

Source: Muktiorganics

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

oenothera biennis oil 0.45% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 23% - 35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

A light foaming and purifying face cleanser that works to remove impurities, clarify and refine pores.

Source: Muktiorganics

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.

Irritation risk:

Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.
