Bring Green Zinc Teca One Step Balm to Foam

What is this product?

A balm-to-foam cleanser built on a mild sulfate-derived surfactant (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, third on the list) with centella-family actives and ceramide NP placed in the later half for a soothing finish. A reasonable pick for oily or blemish-prone skin that wants one step of makeup removal and cleansing without added fragrance.

What makes it different?

The surfactant choice is gentle for a foaming cleanser: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate sits third, supported by Coco-Glucoside at position 8, rather than a harsh sulfate. The soothing package is unusually complete for a rinse-off product, with Zinc PCA at 26, Ceramide NP at 32, Asiaticoside at 34, Centella extract at 35, Madecassic Acid at 37, Asiatic Acid at 38 and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 near the end. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (15) and Allantoin (16) add further calming support. No fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohols were found in the list.
