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!

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

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.

Shea butter may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

Love this cleanser for my sensitive dry skin. It says for the ingredients that it isn’t fungal acne safe but in my experience it has not given me any fungal acne/made it worse. I like the simplicity of the formula and it cleanses well without drying my skin out.

Best cleanser I've tried. 99% of all cleansers dry me out, but this does not. It's gentle and works great. It does not flare up my acne or psoriasis. Also great when your skinbarrier is messed up
