A clarifying and exfoliating body wash formulated with a blend of AHAs and Tea Tree to smooth rough texture and target body breakouts.
This formulation is designed as a high-performance exfoliating body wash. It features a robust Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) complex containing Glycolic, Lactic, and Malic Acid, which makes it highly effective for smoothing rough texture, treating keratosis pilaris, and brightening dull skin. The primary surfactant, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, provides a deep cleanse and rich lather, while Tea Tree Extract offers antimicrobial benefits useful for body acne. Hydroxypropyl Guar helps condition the skin to offset the potential drying effects of the acids.
The formula is free from traditional sulfates (SLS/SLES) and uses Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, a safer and eco-friendly chelating agent. However, the inclusion of generic Fragrance is a potential trigger for sensitization or allergies. Additionally, while Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is an effective cleanser, it can be stripping for sensitive skin. The high concentration of exfoliating acids requires caution regarding sun sensitivity and may irritate compromised skin barriers.
This is a solid choice for those seeking active skincare for the body. It effectively bridges the gap between cleansing and treatment by incorporating a multi-acid blend for resurfacing. While it is likely excellent for oily, acne-prone, or textured skin, the combination of strong cleansing agents, active exfoliants, and fragrance makes it less suitable for very dry or hyper-sensitive skin types.
This body wash is a robust treatment product designed specifically for resurfacing and clarifying the skin, distinguishing itself from standard hydrating cleansers. The cleansing base relies on Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a surfactant known for its excellent foaming abilities and deep cleaning power. While it is technically sulfate-free, it acts similarly to sulfates in its ability to strip oils, which ensures a thorough cleanse but necessitates the inclusion of milder co-surfactants like Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine to mitigate potential dryness.
The defining characteristic of this formula is its impressive chemical exfoliation profile. By incorporating a trio of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)—Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Malic Acid—the product actively works to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together. Glycolic Acid, having the smallest molecular size, penetrates deeply to refine texture, while Lactic Acid provides milder surface exfoliation with hydrating benefits. Malic Acid and Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract work synergistically to brighten the skin tone. This specific combination makes the wash highly effective for addressing rough, bumpy skin conditions such as Keratosis Pilaris (often called “chicken skin”) or general dullness.
Additionally, the inclusion of Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract adds a functional antimicrobial dimension to the product. Tea Tree is widely recognized for its ability to fight bacteria and reduce inflammation, making this wash a strategic choice for those struggling with body acne or congestion on the back and chest. To counterbalance the active ingredients, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is included as a conditioning agent to leave the skin feeling soft rather than tight.
However, the potency of this formula dictates that it should be used with care. The combination of strong cleansing agents, active acids, and added Fragrance creates a profile that may be too aggressive for those with a compromised skin barrier. Furthermore, because AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, users must be diligent about applying sunscreen to exposed areas. Overall, this is a powerful tool for textural improvement and blemish control, best suited for resilient skin types seeking active results.
