Product Description:
Frothy, foamy and fantastic! Meet our 1% Salicylic Acid Foaming Daily Face Wash that's super gentle on the skin and is great for acne prone skin. It is super effective in reducing & preventing acne and dissolving debris that clogs pores as it penetrates deeper in the pores because of its foaming format. The power-packed formula also contains Zinc PCA that controls oil production and limits the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and with regular use, the face wash softens skin and sloughs off dead skin with its gentle exfoliation. All in all, it's a gentle yet effective face wash for reducing active acne

Ingredients Details
Allantoin
Common Name(s): 5-ureidohydantoin,glyoxyldiureide,aluminum dihydroxy allantoinate
CAS Number: 97-59-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Soothes irritation, accelerates wound healing, promotes skin cell renewal, and provides mild keratolytic exfoliation.
Why It's Used: Gold standard multi-function soothing active โ one of the most widely used cosmetic ingredients across all product types for its exceptional tolerability and clinically proven multi-action skin conditioning.
How It Works: Promotes keratinocyte proliferation and fibroblast migration for wound healing. mild keratolytic activity by disrupting corneocyte binding. anti-irritant via direct protein binding and anti-inflammatory cytokine reduction. humectant activity via hydroxyl groups.
Typically Found In: Post-procedure products,sensitive skin formulas,wound care,anti-acne treatments,baby products

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Exceptionally well-tolerated; suitable for all skin types including baby and compromised skin.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ particularly recommended for sensitive skin
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,panthenol,allantoin,hyaluronic acid,centella asiatica
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Allantoin's keratinocyte proliferation stimulation occurs via receptor-mediated signaling (possibly machr activation) rather than non-specific irritation-driven proliferation, making it a true wound-healing stimulant rather than a pro-inflammatory proliferative signal.

Capryloyl Glycine
Common Name(s): N-capryloyl glycine,dermosoft gmcy
CAS Number: 14246-53-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antimicrobial and sebum-regulating activity from naturally-derived caprylic acid-glycine conjugate.
Why It's Used: Natural multifunctional antimicrobial โ capryloyl glycine's anti-seborrheic and antimicrobial dual action provides comprehensive oily skin and anti-dandruff benefits from a single naturally-sourced ingredient.
How It Works: Acyl glycine conjugate provides antimicrobial via fatty acid membrane disruption mechanism. inhibits lipase enzyme reducing sebum fatty acid liberation (sebum regulation). mild surfactant from carboxylate head group. anti-dandruff via malassezia inhibition.
Typically Found In: Anti-seborrheic products,natural antimicrobials,anti-dandruff
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ acyl amino acid surfactant/preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ caprylic acid from coconut + glycine from plant fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Capryloyl glycine's sebum regulation via lipase inhibition mirrors the same mechanism as triethyl citrate and ethylhexylglycerin โ convergent mechanism discovery across structurally diverse ingredient classes. the parallel lipase inhibition by ester-based (triethyl citrate), ether-based (ethylhexylglycerin), and amide-based (capryloyl glycine) compounds validates lipase inhibition as a universally accessible target for sebum control through multiple chemical approaches.

Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract
Common Name(s): Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract,cosmetic active ingredient,established formulation function
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract delivers its characteristic primary cosmetic function โ whether active skin conditioning, antioxidant protection, antimicrobial preservation, rheological control, or sensory enhancement โ contributing measurable formulation value at its recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Formulators select cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract for its specific functional chemistry that provides the required outcome in their formulation โ skin bioactivity, stability contribution, or consumer experience โ supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.
How It Works: Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract works through the fundamental chemical and biological mechanisms of its molecular class. its physicochemical properties (molecular weight, logp, pka, functional groups) determine interactions with skin proteins, lipid membranes, formulation matrices, and biological receptors โ mechanism detailed in peer-reviewed cosmetic chemistry literature.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Common Name(s): Capb,cocoamidopropyl betaine,coconut betaine
CAS Number: 61789-40-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Boosts foam, enhances mildness, and conditions skin and hair when combined with primary surfactants.
Why It's Used: The standard foam booster and mildness enhancer in virtually all shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers โ provides synergistic mildness improvement with anionic surfactants.
How It Works: Amphoteric (zwitterionic) character provides positive charge interaction with hair keratin for antistatic conditioning. reduces irritation of co-formulated anionic surfactants via ionic complex formation. foam stabilization via bilayer reinforcement in foam lamellae.
Typically Found In: Shampoos,body washes,facial cleansers,baby products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ amphoteric surfactant
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from coconut fatty acids and dimethylaminopropylamine
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Capb's mildness-enhancing synergy with sls has a molecular mechanism: capb's positive imidazoline head group forms an ion pair complex with sls's anionic sulfate group, reducing sls's free monomer concentration (the irritation-causing species) without significantly reducing micelle-forming capacity (the cleansing species).
