"Citrus Refresh Creamy Body Wash"

From product name

WIMJ summary

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl 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: coco-glucoside

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
sesamum indicum seed oil A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function	5.9% - 8.8%
coco-glucoside Used as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating	5.1% - 7.6%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	2.7% - 4%
disodium cocoyl glutamate Helps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent	2.1% - 3.2%
