Science: Origins A Perfect World Deep Cleanser Reviewed by NvWah

Origins "Perfect world" series are formulated quite alike with abundant orange oil and tea extract. Overall there is significant amount of fragrant components in this cleanser.

The third abundant 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.

On the good side there are antioxidants and soothing ingredients. White tea extract has potent antioxidant properties. Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) leaf oil has some antiseptic and antibiotic properties when topically applied to the skin and for this reason is often used to treat problem acne skin.

I can only rate this cleanser as 2.5 stars due to the excessive fragrance and questionable preservative.

Safety alert: Cautious
