Science: L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin Reviewed by NvWah

Most of the cleansing agents in this cleanser are quite gentle. The scrublet is an admittedly a cute idea. It should help clean more evenly. However there are a few ingredients that I am seriously concerned about.

The ingredient sodium laureth sulfate is a strong cleansing and foaming agent often used in detergent. It could be extremely drying and cause skin sentisization. SLS denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also exposes deeper layers of the skin to hostile environment.

Another ingredient propylene glycol (PG) is derived from petroleum and used in cosmetics as solvents, surfactants, and wetting agents. It is used to enhance ingredient penetration and as a humidifying agent. It is easily absorbed through skin and is a potent skin irritant. PG could provoke skin irritation and sensitization at concentration as low as 2%. In fact U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a warning to avoid skin contact to prevent brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities.

I wouldn't recommend this cleanser to sensitive skin.

Safety alert: Cautious
review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.

1st ingredient		is water.
2nd ingredient		glycerin transports water from the environment and from the lower layers of skin (dermis) to surface skin (epidermis). It softens the skin. Glycerin is a substance naturally present in skin which helps maintain the epidermis and prevent dryness or scaling.
3rd ingredient		disodium cocoamphodiacetate Mild detergent cleansing agent.
4th ingredient		coco-betaine is a medium strength surfactant which most often does not irritate skin.
