System Verdict
This is a decent cleanser ruined by a heavy fragrance load and a more stripping surfactant base than a modern gentle wash should use. The efficacy score lands at 3.2 because the formula does clean effectively with a mix of surfactants and some glycerin/meadowfoam support, but Sodium Trideceth Sulfate is doing most of the work and the long list of essential oils plus linalool raises irritation risk without adding meaningful cleansing performance.
