LéMAHA Yogurderm Deep Cleansing Milk

What is this product?

A 300ml pump bottle cleansing milk from LéMAHA, built as a low foam wash off emulsion rather than a lather cleanser. The statutory disclosure panel prints 24 ingredients, led by water and wild soybean oil, with meadowfoam seed and carrot seed oils, milk protein extract, tocopherol and panthenol, and with only two mild alkyl glucoside detergent surfactants. The brand markets a coined oil blend and attaches both hydration and exfoliation to it, but the exfoliation half has no mechanism in those oils and the acid that could deliver it sits elsewhere in the list. No INCI list, no pH figure, no functional cosmetic notation and no third party testing were found on the surfaces read for this record. The detail page is entirely images, so the ingredient list was read from the brand's own statutory disclosure image.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it. The surfactant system is limited to two alkyl glucosides inside a fatty alcohol emulsion, so it cleanses by dissolving rather than by lathering. And the colour is explained by ingredients that are actually printed, carrot seed oil and gardenia extract, with no synthetic colourant in the list.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 20 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 3 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
