AccuFixCosmetics Hydrating Gentle Daily Cleanser

Colloidal oats

Oats have been used as a topical treatment for many skin conditions, including dry skin, rashes, and eczema, for centuries. Studies have shown that they result in a clinical improvement in these conditions. They contain antioxidants called phenols that help fight free radical damage and support the skin’s barrier function. They are also anti-inflammatory and help the skin recover from damage.

Green tea extract 

Green tea contains polyphenols, called catechins - EGCG in particular-, that exhibit potent antioxidant activity. These phytochemicals fight skin damage caused by UV radiation, thus helping to slow down skin ageing. 

Green tea also increases the skin's own production of antioxidant enzymes that fight DNA oxidative damage. Research suggests that it increases collagen and elastin in the skin, and suppresses the production of enzymes that degrade collagen. Studies have also suggested that green tea is anti-inflammatory and helps reduce excess sebum production. 

Allantoin

Allantoin is naturally found in the human body and is also commonly found in the food that we eat. It helps wounds heal faster and is commonly added to skin care products to moisturise the skin and soothe irritation. 

Glycerin and lactic acid

Lactic acid and glycerin are both naturally found in the skin, where they form part of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). While glycerin is a well-known humectant - an ingredient that keeps the skin hydrated -, lactic acid is better known as an exfoliant. At low concentrations however, lactic acid also acts like a humectant. By keeping the skin hydrated, these compounds facilitate the skin’s barrier function and help it exfoliate normally, among other things. This makes them essential for maintaining healthy skin and preventing conditions like dull skin, acne and eczema.   

Surfactant blend

Our Hydrating Gentle Daily Cleanser is sulfate-free and uses natural, coconut-derived surfactants to create a product that is extremely gentle on the skin and cleans without drying or stripping. This ensures that the integrity of your skin barrier is maintained and also makes the product safe for sensitive skin.
