Ingredients Of Cosrx Salicyclic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser - 150ml

• Water (Aqua): The base of most cleansers, water helps dissolve other ingredients and spread the product evenly.
• Betaine: A mild surfactant derived from sugar beets known for its gentle cleansing properties. It helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
• Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate: Another gentle surfactant that creates a lather and helps remove excess oil and dirt.
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine: Similar to Betaine, this ingredient offers mild cleansing and helps create a luxurious lather.
• Stearic Acid: A fatty acid that helps thicken the cleanser and provides a smooth texture. It also helps other ingredients bind together for a stable formula.
• Myristic Acid: Similar to Stearic Acid, this fatty acid helps thicken the cleanser and create a smooth feel.
• Potassium Cocoate: Derived from coconut oil, this ingredient helps create a lather and gently cleanses the skin.
• Glycerin: A humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to prevent dryness and maintain a healthy balance.
• Salicylic Acid (0.5%): The star ingredient! Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that acts as a chemical exfoliant. It helps unclog pores by breaking down dead skin cells and sebum buildup. This can be beneficial for reducing acne breakouts, blackheads, and whiteheads.
• Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree Oil): Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil can help soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation associated with acne.
• Salix Alba (Willow Bark) Extract: Willow bark extract naturally contains salicin, which converts to salicylic acid upon contact with the skin. This provides a milder form of exfoliation that can further benefit oily and acne-prone skin.
• Saccharomyces Ferment: A fermented yeast extract that helps condition the skin, improve its barrier function, and potentially offer some antioxidant benefits.
• Allantoin: A soothing and calming ingredient that helps reduce irritation and redness.
• Disodium EDTA: This chelating agent helps improve the stability of the formula and prevent the breakdown of certain ingredients.
• Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil: This essential oil adds a refreshing scent to the cleanser.
