Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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 Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying ingredient. It is created from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. SLES is not the same as sodium lauryl sulfate. It is much milder and less likely to irritate.
SLES helps create foam in personal products. It also prevents ingredients from separating, helping to elongate the shelf life.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a type of sulfate. It can be drying. We recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient if you have concerns.

Anyone else hear using this on your face is good for fungal acne? I was skeptical but I tried it, and after two uses (few days apart) it was a miracle. Even my Salicilic acid face wash didn't do this. I now use one a week just when in the shower and the texture on my skin is amazing. Drying though, treat your skin like a baby after lol. Lots of Moisturizing products 😅
Works well in treating my dandruff and other fungal infections. Doesn’t break me out either when I use it on my face. It is a little stripping on my hair though.
