What DIOR Says
Product Description:
Cleanse and purify the skin without drying it out: with Sauvage The Cleanser, Dior has created a face cleanser formulated with 90% natural-origin ingredients and designed for men's skin, which is thicker and produces more sebum than women's skin. The Sauvage skincare line draws its active power from the heart of the cactus, a super-potent plant that is among the few to survive in the desert. Infused with an aqueous extract of cactus that helps improve the skin's absorption of moisture as well as natural-origin black charcoal with purifying properties, this face cleanser reduces excess sebum and leaves the skin clean, clear, and supple. 99% of the impurities found on the skin are eliminated, even the finest particles. In contact with water, its black gel texture transforms into a generous, fresh, and subtly scented white foam that leaves the skin comfortable and hydrated for 8h. The foam is easy to rinse as it gently cleanses the face and beard. As a complement to cleansing, this product can be applied as a mask once a week. Designed for easy application on a daily basis, the Sauvage The cleanser pump bottle can be used in the shower. Features: Skin is clean, rid of impurities and even the finest particles of pollution; The face is purified without being left dry.

Glycerin
Common Name(s): Glycerol,glycerine,1,2,3-propanetriol
CAS Number: 56-81-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.
Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.
How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.
