The Kiehl's Vanilla & Almond Body Cleanser is a professional-grade oil-to-foam hybrid. It utilizes a base of Castor, Grape Seed, and Rice Bran oils to condition the skin and minimize moisture loss during the wash.
The formula relies on a mild surfactant that is significantly gentler than standard agents, combined with high concentrations of lipids. This configuration replenishes the skin barrier while surface debris is removed, maintaining a pH-balanced environment (approximately 5.5) for skin surface health.
Analysis confirms the transition from a rich oil to a fine milk that rinses without a greasy residue. The high slip of the castor oil base also makes this product an effective lubricant for grooming tasks.
- Barrier Protection: High lipid content prevents the feeling of surface stripping.
- Multi-Use: Functions effectively as a high-slip shaving lubricant.
- Advanced Texture: Transforms into a fine milk for a professional-grade rinse.
