What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + PEG-20 emulsifier system rinses clean; widely sold, including at Target US
- + Long botanical list with jojoba, moringa and sacha inchi oils
- + Vegan positioning is consistent with the ingredient list
Worth knowing
- - Borderline pass: the total score of 60 sits exactly on the Recommended threshold, with Evidence exactly at its floor
- - Isopropyl myristate is the second ingredient — a debated ester for breakout-prone skin, in a product aimed at pores
- - Three essential oils (rosemary, orange peel, eucalyptus) with Limonene — not fragrance-free
- - Ceramide NP is in the tail; we credit it as 'contains' only
- - Price is unstable: Target lists $29.99 (out of stock at check) while street prices run far lower
