Ingredients List & Actives Profiles
You shouldn’t need a degree in chemistry to take care of your skin. But, to be clear, someone needs the degree.
Not Your Normal Surfactants
This cleanser was formulated to be SLS, SLES, and even coco-betaine free. While these surfactants work for most, there is a subcategory of skin types that don’t do well with these surfactants, which seem to be in just about every cleanser out there. No skin type gets left out!
Hydrating, Skin Quenching, Water-grabbing Humectants
While there isn’t a single best humectant, the secret sauce is to use a calculated blend of the top performers, that each brings something unique to the table! Aquafix contains our perfect blend of 9.5% smart glycerin complex, 2% sodium PCA, 1% panthenol, and 0.2% hyaluronic acid to keep skin happily hydrated.
