Highlights
Formulation view Water-based cleanser combining SLS, glucosides, and amphoteric surfactants for deep cleansing. Humectants and almond oil soften the wash, buffered by citric acid. Ideal for oily or combination skin. Factory view: a multi-surfactant system balances cleansing power and gentleness, but strict pH monitoring is essential to prevent irritation to the eyes and sensitive facial areas.
