Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Body Wash - Alpine Tea Tree
Source: Oars + Alps
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, hexylene glycol, hydrogenated castor oil, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen
Helps create a more spreadable product texture
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
Helps oil and water mix together and used as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating and is better avoided for sensitive skin
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Jojoba Esters gently exfoliate, while Antioxidants and Vitamin E hydrate and strengthen.
Source: Oars + Alps
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.
