The full breakdown

A gentle, low-surfactant cleanser that won't strip compromised or reactive skin — an easy daily staple.

Ingredient breakdown

Glycerin
Moderate evidence
Commonly used as a humectant to increase skin hydration and support barrier function; a randomized crossover trial found glycerin-based moisturizers effective for secondary prevention of occupational hand dermatitis, and it is considered a foundational, well-established emollient/humectant ingredient in dermatologic literature.
Panthenol
Moderate evidence
Commonly used to support skin barrier hydration, reduce irritation and promote wound healing after procedures such as laser treatment or microneedling. Reviewed clinical and in-vitro evidence describes barrier-strengthening and re-epithelialization benefits, including in atopic dermatitis and postprocedure wound care.
