Formulation view Foaming cleanser where SLS provides strong cleansing power, buffered by extracts and panthenol for comfort. Carbomer acts as the thickener. Suited for oily skin requiring deep cleansing. The formulation buffers SLS irritation with polysorbates and glycols, but contains colorants and fragrance, necessitating patch testing for sensitive types.
