Formulation view Oil-in-water cleansing milk with shea butter and various plant oils. Uses cetyl alcohol and glucoside emulsifiers for mildness. Added blackcurrant seed oil for sebum regulation, and calendula/rosemary for soothing. Suitable for dry or sensitive skin. Factory view: cleansers have short active residence time; high oil loads require stable emulsions to prevent separation while maintaining easy rinsability.
