Formulation view Dual-phase cleanser with apple and sugarcane extracts in the aqueous phase, and sunflower, sea buckthorn, and castor oils in the oil phase. Cleanses gently using coco-glucoside, buffered by betaine. Preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin. Formulation note: the bi-phase design isolates actives and requires shaking; sea buckthorn oil's carotenoids may tint foam yellow, so consumer expectations must be managed.
