What do the main ingredients in this shower gel actually do?

The cleansing part of the formula is based on Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. These ingredients help lift away sweat, impurities and excess sebum during washing. Cocamidopropyl Betaine is often used alongside stronger surfactants to make the overall cleansing system feel milder on the skin.

The care ingredients are aimed at softness and comfort rather than treatment of any skin condition. Aloe Vera Juice helps moisturize and soften the skin, while Apricot Kernel Oil provides a nourishing element and supports the skin’s lipid barrier. Honey and Algae Extract can also contribute to a more hydrated skin feel.

Centella Asiatica Extract is included for soothing care and support of the skin’s natural renewal processes. Geranium Oil adds the product’s distinctive aromatic profile and is described as having mild toning and antiseptic properties. Because geranium oil is an essential oil, people sensitive to fragrance should use a small amount on a limited area first before regular use.
