System Verdict
Harsh, irritating cleanser that strips the barrier with SLES as primary surfactant—avoid for daily use. Efficacy score of 3.1 reflects Sodium Laureth Sulfate (position 2, aggressive primary cleanser) paired with irritants like Cocamide DEA, Parfum, Diazolidinyl Urea, and Limonene; lacks amino-acid surfactants or contact actives, falling into the 1.5–2.5 harsh range despite minor soothing from Allantoin and Glycerin.
