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.

PURITO From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser 25 ingredients
The consistency is a little annoying to work with and is too thick to be squeezed out of the packaging without effort. Other then that, the cleanser works well to clean my skin without stripping it
Amazing for thoroughly cleaning sensitive skin without irritation or being over drying - emulsify product with water before applying to create super foamy Consistency! :)
