Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Ritual Face Cleanser
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 (decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside
Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
Helps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent
Used as a cleansing agent. It creates foam
Used to create a thicker product consistency
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Formulated with natural oils, this invigorating cleanser contains nourishing vitamins and minerals, whilst the exfoliants buff away dead skin cells to leave you with a bright, renewed complexion.
Source: Mankind
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.
Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
