Water

Dissolves the other ingredients and rinses cleanly off the skin.

Coco Glucoside

A mild coconut and sugar derived cleanser. Lifts dirt and oil without stripping moisture.

Lauramidopropyl Betaine

A soft surfactant. Gives the wash its creamy lather.

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

A cleansing agent. Lifts everyday grime and sunscreen.

Glycerine

A humectant. Draws moisture towards the skin so it doesn't feel stripped after a wash.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

A creamy cleanser. Adds to the soft, rich lather.

Glycol Distearate, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Glyceryl Laurate

Gives the body wash its milky, pearlescent look and a soft feel on the skin.

Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerine

A preservative. Keeps the formula stable through its shelf life.

Hydrolysed Jojoba Esters

Water-soluble emollients. Leave skin feeling soft without a greasy film.

Sodium Chloride

Table salt. Adjusts the texture and flow of the wash.

Lactic Acid

A pH adjuster. Holds the formula at pH 5.5, matching healthy skin.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

A stabiliser. Keeps the wash smooth and consistent from the first pump to the last.

Sodium Benzoate

A preservative. Also helps keep the formula stable through its shelf life.

What's the pH, shelf life and origin of Sensitive Body Wash?

Sensitive Body Wash sits at pH 5.5, matching healthy skin, which is gentler than conventional washes closer to pH 9 to 10. Shelf life is 12 months unopened from manufacture when stored sealed, cool and out of direct sunlight. Period after opening is 6 months. Naturally derived 88.58% per ISO 16128. Made in Australia.

At pH 5.5 the wash matches healthy skin, so a daily shower doesn't strip the skin's natural moisture barrier. Plenty of conventional body washes sit closer to pH 9 to 10. A box lasts around three months for up to a family of three.
