Gentle Cleanse for Mama - pH Balanced Face Wash
Full Ingredient List
| Ingredient | What it is, where it comes from, and why it's here |
|---|---|
| Purified Water (Aqua) | The base of the formula. Purified to ensure the cleanest possible base for every ingredient. |
| Plantapon SF | A coconut-derived, sulfate-free cleansing system. Lifts impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier or disrupting its pH. Safe during pregnancy. This system contains: |
| Sodium Cocoamphoacetate | Derived from coconut oil. A very mild surfactant that produces a gentle, comfortable lather without stripping the skin's natural moisture. One of the most widely used cleansing ingredients in baby and sensitive skin products globally, valued for its exceptional gentleness and low irritation potential. |
| Glycerin | A plant-derived humectant (a moisture-attracting substance) included within the cleansing system to ensure the formula actively moisturises during cleansing rather than just cleaning. Counteracts any dryness that cleansing could cause by drawing moisture into the skin as you wash. |
| Lauryl Glucoside | Derived from coconut oil and glucose. A sugar-based surfactant that boosts the cleansing performance of the system while remaining exceptionally gentle. Biodegradable and well-tolerated on the most sensitive skin including newborns. |
| Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate | An amino acid-derived cleanser derived from coconut oil and glutamic acid — an amino acid naturally found in the skin. It cleanses effectively while respecting the skin's natural pH and barrier, making it one of the most skin-compatible cleansing ingredients available. |
| Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate | A mild, sugar-derived surfactant that works alongside the other components to complete the cleansing system. Enhances lather quality and cleansing efficacy while remaining completely gentle on skin. Despite containing the word "lauryl" in its name, it is not related to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and carries none of the same irritation concerns. |
| Citric Acid | A naturally derived acid used at minimal concentration to maintain the formula at the optimal pH for skin comfort and cleansing performance. |
| Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate | A mild, amino acid-derived cleanser that enhances the gentle cleansing action and leaves a smooth, comfortable skin feel after washing. |
| Glycerin | A plant-derived humectant that ensures the skin retains hydration during and after cleansing, so the face feels soft rather than tight. |
| Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract | Refreshes and soothes the skin during cleansing. Reduces redness and leaves a calm, comfortable finish. |
| Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract | A potent antioxidant that protects skin from environmental damage and helps regulate oil production. |
| Hydroxyethylcellulose | A natural, plant-derived thickening agent that gives the face wash its consistent gel-like texture. |
| Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin | A gentle preservative system. Safe during pregnancy at approved concentrations. |
| Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract | Calms and hydrates skin during cleansing, reducing the risk of irritation. |
| Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract | Provides relief for sensitive and reactive skin during cleansing. Particularly beneficial for skin that is easily irritated. |
| Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Flower Extract | Refines the appearance of pores and adds a natural radiance to skin. |
| Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract | Rich in natural antioxidants. Supports gentle brightening and skin renewal. |
| Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract | Contains Glabridin, a compound that inhibits the enzyme responsible for post-inflammatory pigmentation. Particularly effective for hormonal dark spots and uneven tone. |
| Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) | Supports skin recovery after cleansing. Maintains softness and helps the skin barrier recover quickly. |
| Perfume - Karess EU | A gentle, clean fragrance used at less than 0.5%. IFRA-compliant, free from endocrine disruptors. |
| Allantoin | A naturally occurring compound that soothes irritation and promotes skin cell renewal. Softens skin and supports healing of dry or damaged areas. |
| Sodium Gluconate | Derived from glucose. Maintains formula performance and supports the preservative system. |
| Mandelic Acid | A gentle AHA derived from bitter almonds. Exfoliates dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and improves tone. One of the safest AHAs for sensitive and pregnancy-affected skin due to its larger molecular size and slower absorption. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) | A deeply penetrating form of Hyaluronic Acid that holds up to 1000x its weight in water. Ensures the skin stays hydrated after cleansing. Keeps the face feeling plump and soft rather than tight or stripped. |
| Sodium PCA | A component of the skin's own natural moisture system. Actively draws moisture into the skin, preventing the dryness that can follow cleansing. |
| Bisabolol | Naturally derived from chamomile. One of the most effective anti-irritant ingredients available. Soothes redness and calms post-cleanse sensitivity. |
