"Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Monoi Cleansing Balm"

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 (glyceryl behenate, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, polysorbate 85, sorbitan trioleate) 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
canola oil A plant oil that can help soften the upper layer of the skin	23% - 34%
isopropyl myristate An emollient that helps soften the skin. Could be comedogenic	4.8% - 7.2%
glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together	3.1% - 4.6%
sorbitan trioleate	3.1% - 4.7%
polysorbate 85	2.4% - 3.7%
glyceryl behenate Used to create a thicker product consistency and help soften the upper layer of the skin	1.9% - 2.9%
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	1.4% - 2.1%
oryza sativa bran wax	1.1% - 1.7%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	1.1% - 1.7%
macadamia ternifolia seed oil Plant oil from nuts that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains a high concentration of oleic acid that can weaken skin's barrier function and increase water-loss while enhancing penetration of other ingredients	0.6% - 1.4%
prunus amygdalus dulcis oil An emollient that softens the skin	0.5% - 1.1%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.4% - 0.95%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.35% - 0.85%
cocos nucifera fruit extract An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	0.3% - 0.75%

leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine	0.1% - 0.5%
nonfat dry milk	0.1% - 0.45%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.15% - 0.6%
hydrogenated lecithin 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.	0.15% - 0.6%
