Ingredients Side-by-side
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.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a fatty acid created by mixing similar compounds in coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. Dimethylaminopropylamine is a diamine, an amine with two amino groups.
Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate is a cleansing ingredient. It is a surfactant, meaning it helps gather dirt, oil, and other pollutants. This helps them be rinsed away easily.
Snail Secretion Filtrate is the excretion from snails. It is an effective moisturizer and promotes collagen production.
Polysorbate 60 is used to help stabilize products. It is a surfactant and emulsifier. These properties help keep ingredients together in a product. Surfactants help reduce surface tension between ingredients with different states, such as liquids and solids. Emulsifiers help prevent oils and waters from separating.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.
Tromethamine is an aliphatic compound. An aliphatic compound is an organic compound with open-chained carbon atoms. It is synthetically created. Tromethamine is used to balance pH and improve texture.
2 Benefits

While Cocamidopropyl Betaine was believed to be an allergen, a study from 2012 disproved this. It found two compounds in unpure Cocamidopropyl Betaine to be the irritants: aminoamide and 3-dimethylaminopropylamine. High-grade and pure Cocamidopropyl Betaine did not induce allergic reactions during this study.

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.
