A fragrance-heavy body wash powered by Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) for a strong cleanse, balanced slightly by botanical extracts like Shea Butter and Coconut.
This formulation relies on Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a high-foaming and very effective surfactant that guarantees a rich lather and a deep clean. The addition of Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside helps stabilize the foam. To counteract the stripping nature of SLS, the formula includes refatting agents like Glyceryl Oleate, Glycerin, and Shea Butter Extract, which should improve the after-feel on the skin. Users can expect a robust cleansing experience.
The safety profile is compromised by the presence of Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone, a preservative duo known as ‘the itchy Ms’ due to their high potential for causing contact dermatitis and allergic reactions. Furthermore, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a known skin irritant that can disrupt the skin barrier more than milder alternatives like SLES. The inclusion of undefined Fragrance (Parfum) also poses a risk for those with sensitive skin.
This is a standard, budget-friendly formulation. While it performs its primary job of cleaning very well due to strong surfactants, it utilizes an outdated preservative system (MCI/MI) and a harsher primary detergent (SLS) compared to modern, gentler body washes. It is effective for those with resilient or oily skin, but not recommended for individuals with sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin.
This formulation represents a traditional, high-lather approach to body cleansing, primarily relying on Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) as its main detergent. SLS is extremely effective at removing oil, dirt, and environmental pollutants, creating the rich, bubbly foam that many consumers associate with a thorough wash. However, its efficacy comes with a trade-off; it is a strong anionic surfactant that can strip the skin of its natural oils, potentially leading to dryness or tightness after showering. To mitigate this, the formulators have included milder co-surfactants like Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside, which help to improve the mildness profile and stabilize the foam.
The product attempts to offset the harshness of the cleanser with a suite of conditioning agents, including Glycerin, Shea Butter Extract, Coconut Fruit Extract, and Rice Bran Extract. While these ingredients are excellent for hydration in leave-on products, their presence here as ‘extracts’ alongside strong detergents suggests they are likely in low concentrations. They may provide a soft after-feel, but they are unlikely to offer deep, lasting moisturization compared to a dedicated lotion. The pearlescent look of the product comes from Glycol Distearate, which gives the wash a creamy, luxurious appearance but serves mostly aesthetic purposes.
A critical aspect of this formula is its preservation and fragrance system. Fragrance (Parfum) is listed very high (4th ingredient), indicating a potent scent profile that will linger on the skin. While pleasant for those who enjoy aromatherapy in the shower, high levels of fragrance are a common trigger for skin irritation. Furthermore, the product uses Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone. Often referred to as the ‘itchy Ms,’ these are powerful preservatives used to prevent bacterial growth, but they are also well-documented contact allergens. Their presence makes this product unsuitable for leave-on applications (though this is a wash) and risky for those with compromised skin barriers.
In summary, this is a robust, effective cleanser best suited for oily or resilient skin types that tolerate strong surfactants and enjoy heavy fragrance. It creates a satisfying sensory experience through foam and scent but lacks the gentleness required for sensitive skin care.
