A functional body wash that effectively cleanses but may not be suitable for all skin types due to its high fragrance content and use of strong surfactants. The inclusion of moisturizing agents helps to balance the cleansing action.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

From Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fragrance, Citric Acid, Limonene
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Fragrance, Sodium Chloride, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citric Acid
