Hydrating Face Wash

A sulfate-free hydrating cleanser built on three mild coconut-derived surfactants: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Decyl Glucoside, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate. These are among the gentlest cleansing systems available, appropriate for dry, sensitive, and post-treatment skin. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Sodium Hyaluronate support barrier hydration post-cleansing. Amino acids L-Proline and Hydroxyproline - structural components of collagen - at near-final positions act as skin-conditioning NMF (natural moisturising factor) analogues. Chondrus Crispus (Red Algae) Extract adds marine carrageenan for hydration. Contains PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate as a co-emulsifier and Allergen Free Fragrance.

India Context

India's hard water in many cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru) can interact with anionic surfactants to leave a residue on skin; the amphoteric + glucoside + isethionate system in this formula is less prone to hard-water soap scum than SLS-based cleansers. Suitable for dry skin common in North India's winter months and in air-conditioned environments. Post-treatment skin (post-acid, post-retinol, post-waxing) benefits from this gentle surfactant system.

One of the mildest cleansing surfactant systems available: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate (amphoteric, extremely low irritation), Decyl Glucoside (non-ionic, sugar-derived), and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (gentlest anionic). No SLS, no SLES, no Cocamide DEA, no parabens. PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is well-tolerated at cosmetic rinse-off concentrations. Polyquaternium-7 has a low sensitisation risk. Allergen Free Fragrance is present but overall irritation potential is very low. Disodium EDTA as chelator.

The three-surfactant system is intelligently designed: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate and Decyl Glucoside deliver very low-irritation cleansing, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate creates a conditioning lather. Panthenol and Sodium Hyaluronate provide leave-behind hydration even in a rinse-off format. L-Proline and Hydroxyproline are collagen amino acids that function as NMF analogues - a rare and differentiated inclusion in a rinse-off formula. Chondrus Crispus adds marine carrageenan humectant benefit.

Claims Evidence

Strong

Good evidence for stated claims based on public information.

The dual cleanser and makeup-remover claim is credible given the surfactant system. Full INCI accessible. Active concentrations (Panthenol, HA, amino acids) are not individually disclosed. No published clinical data. Allergen Free Fragrance content is not prominently disclosed on pack.
