"Charcoal & Mandelic Acid Spot & Acne Cleanser Bar"

From product name

WIMJ summary for cleansing

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, sodium cocoate) 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.

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: mandelic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
mandelic acid	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
sodium cocoate Works as a cleansing agent	25% - 38%
water Plain old water	13% - 20%
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	4.8% - 7.3%
charcoal powder Benefits for the skin are not clear	3.2% - 4.8%
coconut acid	2.3% - 3.4%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	2.1% - 3.1%
melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil An essential oil that can be irritating. Has some anti-bacterial properties	0.6% - 1.35%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	1.2% - 1.7%
mandelic acid Helps shed the upper layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing smoother, brighter skin. It can help to reduce hyperpigmentation. It has anti-bacterial properties, and might help to reduce blemishes, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It is considered to be gentler than glycolic acid	0.35% - 0.85%
sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products	0.1% - 0.35%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.05% - 0.25%
