This robust antimicrobial cleanser utilizes a high concentration of tea tree oil balanced by sea buckthorn. The core tea tree components provide broad-spectrum surface cleansing, while sea buckthorn oil integrates essential fatty acids and antioxidants to mitigate the desiccant effect. This formula is ideal for athletes or those maintaining skin prone to congestion, though the clarifying surfactant profile may be stripping for dry skin types. Peppermint oil is included for a localized cooling effect.
The formulation distinguishes itself by omitting paraben-based preservatives in favor of botanical extracts. Due to the high essential oil concentration, a patch test is mandatory to rule out contact reactivity. It is recommended to avoid use on broken skin or immediately after shaving. To prevent transepidermal water loss, follow the shower with a lipid-replenishing body moisturizer to seal in hydration and protect the skin barrier surface.
