What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.

This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.

You'll most likely find this ingredient in cleansers where it is used to create a gel-like texture. As an emulsifier, it also prevents ingredients from separating.

There is much debate on whether this ingredient is comedogenic. The short answer - comedogenic ratings don't tell the whole story. Learn more about comegodenic ratings here.

The concensus about this ingredient causing acne seems to be divided. Research is needed to understand if this ingredient does cause acne.

Scrubs may use salt as the primary exfoliating ingredient.

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Ceramide NP is a type of ceramide.

Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.

Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.

If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

not for oily/acne prone skin
bought this cleanser and moisturizer and after reviewing the ingredients, we also believe the oleic and stearic acid (which alot of BYOMA products have) made my boyfriend (sensitive/acne prone/oily skin) have soooo many break outs so we will be replacing these products immediately. I will continue to use the products as I have normal skin so so far so good no major changes.

i had such high hopes for this brand and cleanser and it did feel nice at first. it's not stripping and gets the job done, but ever since i started using this cleanser along with the gel moisturizer from byoma, i started breaking out. i had no issues with their clarifying and brightening serums but i checked my whole routine to see why i am breaking out so much and i think the sodium chloride in this cleanser and the oleic acid in literally almost all of byoma's products are partially responsible for this. it could be something else but i personally won't be repurchasing anything from them just in case it really was their products breaking me out.

Ceramides! Pro-B5! Vitamin E! Niacinamide! Glycerin! There is so much good I would suggest looking through each ingredient on SkinSort or another skincare ingredient database if you aren't up to speed on all of the potential benefits the skin can reap from these ingredients with informed and correct product use. I really can't complain about this cleanser, and I may have some bias towards it only because I've used it without a single issue for twelve months. However, objectively speaking many cleansers tend to pack in subtle ingredients often overlooked for potential to cause irritation (i.e., fragrances, sulfates, alcohols) to the skin's dynamic barrier. Niacinamide in this product may have the potential to cause skin irritation for some users, however, in cleanser form you will be washing off product relatively soon after application so this shouldn't be as relevant of a concern as opposed to a serum or even moisturizer containing niacinamide.
