"Superfood Cleanser"

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 (cocamidopropyl betaine, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
cocamidopropyl betaine	HIGH

sodium cocoyl glutamate	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
sodium cocoyl glutamate Helps oil and water mix together	11% - 13%
cocamidopropyl betaine Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen	6.3% - 7.6%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	3.1% - 3.8%
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.	2.2% - 2.7%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	1.8% - 2.2%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	1.5% - 1.8%
brassica rapa leaf extract	1.2% - 1.5%
spinacia oleracea leaf extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties	1% - 1.2%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.75% - 1.15%
chamomilla recutita flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating	0.65% - 0.95%
medicago sativa extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin	0.55% - 0.8%
aloe barbadensis leaf extract Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	0.5% - 0.75%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation	0.25% - 0.5%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.2% - 0.35%
potassium sorbate A preservative	0.15% - 0.25%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	0.15% - 0.25%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.05% - 0.15%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.1% - 0.15%
ci 75810	0.05% - 0.15%
