Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterSodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is a cleansing agent and emulsifier. It is a surfactant derived from sarcosine, and a common source is coconut oil. As a surfactant, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate helps lift dirts, oil, and other molecules to be washed away. In leave-on products, this ingredient is used as an emulsifier. Emulsifier help prevent ingredients such as oils and waters from separating.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is also commonly found as a foaming agent in shampoo, toothpaste, and shaving foam. It is amphiphilic, meaning it loves both water and fats.

nice texture, non-irritating, doesn't work for my rosacea skin, very drying, stripping, works well as body shaving gel now
I have combi-sensitive skin, which is oily on my forehead and cheekbones but dry in other areas. This cleanser broke me out after 2 days of using it.
Also, it completely dried my cheeks.

It’s clean the skin without stripping it but not enough cleanser it’s break me out a little bit
I have been using the QV Gentle wash as a body wash for a while and love it, so decided to try this one. The ingredients are pretty much the same, but my skin hates the extra glycerin this one has. Immediately after using this, I get itchy. It's a shame, as this does make my skin feel really soft and nice.
Also, my partner (who has a perfect skin and never breaks out) broke out after using Show more
