The formula utilizes a professional-grade surfactant-to-emollient ratio, featuring a high concentration of colloidal oatmeal paired with non-stripping cleansers. It effectively balances lipid preservation with gentle debris removal, serving as a reliable staple for reactive skin types. This prebiotic oat formula deposits a thin layer of polysaccharides and lipids onto the skin surface rather than disrupting the natural mantle. Glycerin is included as a humectant to ensure moisture is maintained during the cleansing process.
While fragrance-free, the inclusion of citric acid for pH balancing suggests that users with compromised barriers perform a patch test. To maintain the conditioning effects of the colloidal oats, it is essential to seal in moisture with a lipid-rich body emollient within three minutes of exiting the shower. The product maintains a skin-neutral pH of approximately 5.5 and provides excellent lather for a sulfate-free wash.
