This formula relies on the terpenoids in tea tree oil for antimicrobial activity and includes a silicone scrubber for physical exfoliation. While effective for neutralizing gym odor, the high concentration of essential oils frequently causes contact concerns in sensitive areas. The surfactant system, including sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, provides a deep clean but may strip the acid mantle, leading to post-wash dryness. Aloe vera is included to provide humectancy and soothing properties.
The included scrubber should be sanitized regularly to avoid reintroducing debris to the skin. Users report that the intense tingling sensation can escalate to discomfort on thin skin. To prevent transepidermal water loss caused by these potent oils, follow treatment with a lipid-restoring barrier cream to lock in hydration. The physical exfoliation provided is beneficial for maintaining skin with keratosis pilaris, provided pressure is managed to prevent scrubber damage.
