What does the product description say?

"Mint Renewal Cleanser"

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 (disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 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: sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
disodium cocoamphodiacetate	HIGH
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose	HIGH
sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate	HIGH

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
stearyl behenate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	5.1% - 7.6%
sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate Helps oil and water mix together and used as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating and is better avoided for sensitive skin	5.2% - 7.7%
jojoba esters An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function	2.9% - 4.3%
disodium cocoamphodiacetate Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent	2.2% - 3.4%
acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together	1.7% - 2.5%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	1.4% - 2.1%
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation	1.2% - 1.8%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles.

phytic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), but is mostly used to stabilize product formulations in cosmetics	0.1% - 0.45%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.05% - 0.3%
