SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE FOAM 20ML

100% Genuine · Fragrance-Free · Pregnancy-Safe · Vegan-Friendly* · Cruelty-Free* · Halal-Friendly*

*Vegan and cruelty-free badges reflect SKIN1004's PETA "Beauty Without Bunnies" listing, verified against PETA's own database — see Sec. 26 for the full footnote and a mainland-China retail caveat. Halal is self-assessed from the declared INCI, not a formal certificate — see Sec. 26.

If you're dealing with acne breakouts or oily-feeling skin in Mauritius's heat, it's easy to assume your skin needs a harsher wash — this formula is built around the opposite idea: strip less, and the oiliness itself tends to calm down.

Pros: pH 5 (skin-mimicking, not alkaline), fragrance-free with no EU-26 allergens detected, small 20ml format is low-commitment for a first try, coconut-derived surfactant blend rather than harsher sulfates like SLS.

Caveats: the exact Centella concentration is not disclosed and two conflicting online figures (33% and 84%) could not be verified; fungal-acne safety is conditional, not guaranteed; no review specific to this 20ml size (as opposed to the 125ml) was found.

2A. In Mauritius heat, the "grimy" feeling by midday is usually sebum and sweat doing their job, not dirt. Washing more than twice daily strips your acid mantle (target pH 4.5-5.5), and your skin responds by overproducing sebum to compensate — the exact oiliness you were trying to remove.

2B. This formula's pH 5 target and coconut-derived surfactant blend (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoate) is a gentler surfactant class than harsher anionic sulfates. Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid are marketed by the brand as a mild physical/chemical assist for pore debris and surface texture — no concentration or independent clinical test of this specific claim was found, so treat it as a formulation-mechanism claim rather than a proven result.

3A. GREEN — this is a gentle, fragrance-free, actives-light cleanser suitable for most ages. It contains no retinoids, no exfoliating acids above trace/wash-off levels, and no benzoyl peroxide.

The Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid present are marketed mechanism aids, not clinical-strength exfoliants, and are used at levels typical for a rinse-off cleanser. There is no youth-targeted packaging or marketing found for this SKU.

Step 1 — When: AM, PM, or both.

Step 2 — How much: a pea-to-marble-size amount squeezed from the tube, worked into damp palms.

Step 3 — How: lather for about 60 seconds on damp skin, then rinse with lukewarm (not hot) water.

The one rule: Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

6A. 1. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam — lather 60 seconds, rinse with lukewarm water. 2. Toning toner (5-8 drops, wait 10-20s). 3. Optional Centella ampoule/serum (2-3 drops, wait 30-60s). 4. Moisturizer (1-2 peas). 5. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (2-finger rule), 10-15 minutes before sun exposure.

In humid Mauritius mornings, humectants in the following steps (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) draw water from the surrounding humid air rather than pulling it from your deeper skin layers — one reason this cleanser's non-stripping approach matters most right after waking.

7A. 1. If wearing sunscreen or makeup, an oil cleanser first (massage on dry skin, emulsify with water, rinse). 2. This Foam as your water-based (second) cleanse — lather 60 seconds, rinse. 3. Toner. 4. Treatment serum, if used. 5. Moisturizer.

As a rinse-off, non-active product this cleanser has no lane in the 4-night active-cycling schedule (Exfoliation / Retinoid / Recovery / Recovery) — it is the constant first step every night, regardless of which active lane you're running.

Technique: work the product into damp hands first to build lather before applying — this 20ml tube dispenses as a thicker mousse/gel (not the pre-foamed pump dispense of the 125ml bottle), so a brief hand-lather step helps it spread evenly.

60-Second Rule: keep the lather on skin for about 60 seconds of light massage — this gives the surfactant blend adequate contact time to lift sebum without needing to scrub harder.

Required skin state: damp skin, to help the foam distribute evenly.

Hands vs. cotton pad: hands deliver 100% of product; cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40%. Use hands for this cleanser.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: viscosity ladder thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors. Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops, serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump, eye product ½ rice-grain per eye, gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas, occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size, sunscreen 2-finger rule for face plus 1 finger for neck. Hydrators go on slightly damp skin; retinoids on fully dry skin. If the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (this product occupies this slot) 2. pH-Prep Toner 3. Hydrating Toner Layers 4. Essence 5. Mist 6. Booster/Soothing Serum 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose one) 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose one) 9. Hydration Serum Lane 10. Oil-Control Lane (choose one) 11. Peptides/Repair Lane 12. Eye Cream 13. Moisturizer 14. Optional Sealing Layer 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) 16. Lip SPF. In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse) 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup) 3. Water Cleanser (this product occupies this slot) 4. pH-Prep Toner 5. Hydrating Toner Layers 6. Essence 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum 8. Anchor treatment product 9. Targeted Serum 10. Moisturizer 11. Sleeping Mask 12. Occlusive Seal 13. Spot Treatment 14. Lip Sleeping Mask. Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

9A. This is a pre-lather gel/mousse texture that becomes water-thin once worked into foam with water — it is the first, thinnest step of any routine.

9B. Layer everything else after it, thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase.

9D. Water-phase, rinse-off — leaves nothing behind to interact with subsequent layers.

12A. As a cleanser, this product has no prerequisite routine — it is typically the first step for skin of any experience level.

12D. If your moisturizer stings or your skin feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, your barrier is already compromised — this formula is already among the gentler options in the category, so the fix is to reduce frequency to once daily (PM only) and use lukewarm water, not to switch products.

14A. Daily removal of sebum, sweat, and light makeup residue without disrupting the skin's pH 4.5-5.5 acid mantle — the coconut-derived surfactant blend cleanses at pH 5 rather than the alkaline pH of soap-based washes.

14C. Secondary: leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight, per the majority of aggregated review themes for this formula.

14D. What this product cannot do: it cannot treat active acne on its own (no benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoid), cannot fade existing dark marks, and cannot deliver chemical-peel-strength exfoliation — the Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate here are wash-off, trace-level assists, not treatment-strength actives.

14E. For persistent acne, cleansing is one lever among several — a high-glycemic diet and dairy intake are linked to insulin/IGF-1-driven sebum production in some research; this is a dietary consideration alongside topical care, not a medical claim this product makes.

15A.

• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner 30ml — restores comfort and pH balance immediately after rinsing; AM and PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 30ml — the brand's leave-on Centella serum; a distinct product from this cleanser, used as a treatment step after toner; AM and PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Cream 30ml — seals in hydration after cleansing so the barrier isn't left exposed; AM and PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml — completes the AM routine; apply 10-15 minutes after moisturizer.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 30ml — first step of a PM double cleanse on sunscreen/makeup days, with this Foam as the second, water-based cleanse.

15B. No pilling risk from this product itself since it fully rinses away. If double-cleansing, an oil cleanser that isn't fully emulsified with water before this Foam is applied can leave a filmy residue that feels like poor lathering rather than true pilling.

Pre-period breakouts happen because progesterone causes the pore lining to physically swell, narrowing the opening and trapping sebum beneath. Cleansing more aggressively during this window does not clear that blockage and instead adds barrier stress on top of it.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which breaks down collagen, increases trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), triggers inflammatory acne, and compromises barrier function. A cleanser that avoids stripping the acid mantle removes one variable that would otherwise compound cortisol-driven barrier stress.

Centella Asiatica has a long traditional and emerging-research reputation for calming inflamed, reactive skin, though this exact formula's soothing effect was not independently lab-tested this run.

MYTH: "Ampoule Foam" means this is a leave-on ampoule treatment. REALITY: "Ampoule Foam" is SKIN1004's product-line naming convention — this is a rinse-off cleanser, distinct from the brand's leave-on Madagascar Centella Ampoule serum.

MYTH: A cleanser that lathers a lot is cleaning better. REALITY: Foam volume is a function of surfactant chemistry and whipping technique, not cleansing power — a rich lather from this coconut-derived blend does not mean it's stripping harder than a low-foam gel.

MYTH: If your face feels oily by midday, you should wash more often. REALITY: See the Over-Cleansing Cycle (Sec. 2) — more frequent washing usually increases compensatory sebum, not reduces it.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): PM2.5 increases during this period. Since this is a rinse-off, non-tacky product with no residue between uses, a proper PM cleanse (double-cleansing on heavy-exposure days) is well suited to removing settled particulate before bed.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film after cleansing that causes a tight, filmy feeling that is sometimes mistaken for the cleanser itself being drying. Following with a pH-balancing toner helps counteract this residue.

*Concentration for Centella Asiatica Extract is not publicly disclosed. Two conflicting figures (33% and 84%) surfaced in unsourced aggregator summaries during research and could not be traced to a brand-published statement — neither is stated here as fact. The Sodium Bicarbonate/Citric Acid mechanism claims are brand marketing, not independently lab-tested for this product.

Full INCI list (sourced from WebSearch-aggregated INCIDecoder summaries for this formula; direct fetch of INCIDecoder, CosDNA, and the brand site was blocked this research run, so this is a medium-confidence source, not a direct page read):

Centella Asiatica Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Water, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, 1,2-Hexanediol [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Sodium Chloride, Potassium Cocoate, Potassium Benzoate, Polyquaternium-67, Citric Acid, Dextrin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract.

*Note on ingredient order: Centella Asiatica Extract appears first, ahead of Water (fourth) — unusual for a rinse-off cleanser where water is normally the dominant ingredient by weight. This same order was found independently across multiple searches, suggesting it's a stable characteristic of the published list rather than a one-off error, but it was not confirmed against a physical tube's printed label this run. The 1% line placement is an estimate only, not a brand-stated figure — Sodium Chloride at position 9 may plausibly sit above or below the true 1% cut.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol (glycol-type preservative booster) and Potassium Benzoate (benzoate-class preservative), supported by Disodium EDTA as a chelator. No parabens or formaldehyde-releasers appear in the declared list.

24A. Fragrance-Free — no Parfum, Fragrance, or named essential oil appears in the declared 23-ingredient INCI.

24B. Any scent is a faint, natural note from the Centella and Cocoa extract bases themselves, not an added fragrance ingredient.

24C. Intensity: 1/5. Dissipation: instant, since the product is fully rinsed away.

24D. None of the EU 26 designated fragrance allergens (Linalool, Limonene, Citral, Geraniol, Citronellol, Eugenol, Coumarin, etc.) were detected in the declared INCI.

*A retailer marketing claim states this formula "excludes 26 EU allergy ingredients and 20 MFDS ingredients to avoid." This is consistent with the fragrance-free INCI found, but it was not independently checked against the actual EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III list or the MFDS restricted-ingredient list this run — treat it as an unverified marketing statement.

24E. Alcohol-Free — no denatured alcohol or fatty alcohol appears anywhere in the declared INCI.

26A. Halal-Friendly*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

26B. Vegan-Friendly* and 26C. Cruelty-Free*

*SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's public cruelty-free database (Beauty Without Bunnies), which we verified directly against the certifier's own published listing — this is a real third-party certification, not a self-assessment. That same program covers vegan status brand-wide. SKIN1004 also sells through Tmall in mainland China, where post-market animal testing can legally apply to a brand's products; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt, but which channel applies to any given Adilsons unit has not been confirmed.

26E. Microplastic-Free: Yes. Polyquaternium-67, the only synthetic polymer present, is a water-soluble conditioning agent, not a solid microplastic particle.

27A. MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. This formula contains no MFDS-registered functional-cosmetic active (no whitening or wrinkle-improvement ingredient at a registered concentration, no UV filter) — this is an inference from the ingredient list, not an independently confirmed registry lookup.

27D. No product-specific clinical study, in-vitro report, sample size, or named methodology was found for this exact SKU. The "excludes 26 EU/20 MFDS ingredients" claim (Sec. 24) is a formulation-exclusion statement, not a clinical efficacy study.

27E. Evidence Confidence: Marketing-Only* for the pore-cleansing/exfoliation-assist claims attributed to Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid.

*No independent lab or clinical test of this product's specific claims was located this run.

No reformulation history specific to this cleanser or size was found this run.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate itself is widely regarded as fungal-acne-safe per multiple trackers. However, the broader surfactant blend (Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Coco-Betaine, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoate) is flagged by some tracker sources as a possible Malassezia-feeding concern, and one unverified anecdotal review reported a flare-up. Rinse-off cleansers are generally considered lower FA risk than leave-on products due to short skin contact time, but this was not confirmed specifically for this SKU.

Assessment: None. As a rinse-off product it leaves nothing on skin to pill with subsequent layers.

The only related issue reported is a filmy residue when double-cleansing with an oil cleanser that wasn't fully emulsified with water before this Foam is applied — mitigate by emulsifying the oil step fully (milky, not oily) before rinsing and moving on.

Centella and Cocoa extracts can oxidize over time; a noticeable darkening, a rancid or "off" smell, or new stinging on use are the signs to watch for. Store the tube away from direct sun and Mauritius's ambient bathroom heat and humidity, with the cap closed tightly between uses.

When in doubt, discard rather than continue using a product that has changed color, smell, or texture.

Patch test: apply to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours; if clear, apply behind the ear, wait another 24 hours; then begin facial use.

72-hour barrier reset: if you have an adverse reaction, stop all actives. For 72 hours use ONLY a gentle cleanser, plain moisturizer, and mineral SPF — no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care.

1. Treating the name "Ampoule Foam" as a leave-on ampoule and not rinsing it off.

2. Washing more than twice daily chasing an oil-free feeling — this triggers the Over-Cleansing Cycle (Sec. 2).

3. Skipping moisturizer afterward because skin "feels clean" — even gentle cleansing transiently raises water loss until sealed.

4. Using very hot water in Mauritius heat to feel "deep clean" — heat strips surface lipids faster than lukewarm water.

5. Using this as your only cleanse on sunscreen/makeup days instead of double-cleansing first.

Overuse threshold: more than twice daily use does not clean better — it accelerates barrier stripping and the compensatory oiliness described in Sec. 2.

36A. At an estimated pea-to-marble amount (~0.5-1ml) per use, this 20ml tube provides roughly 20-30 uses — this is a rough estimate based on typical dispense size, not a brand-stated figure.

36B. At once-daily use, that's approximately 3-4 weeks; at twice-daily use, approximately 2-3 weeks. Using less per application (while still achieving a full lather) extends this without reducing the cleanse.

36C. Reorder roughly two weeks before you expect to run out, to allow for delivery time.

37A. This cleanser opens both your AM and PM routines. AM: 1. This Foam (lather 60s, rinse) 2. Toning Toner 3. Optional Ampoule 4. Moisturizer 5. Sunscreen (wait 10-15 min). PM: 1. Oil cleanser first if wearing SPF/makeup 2. This Foam (lather 60s, rinse) 3. Toning Toner 4. Optional Ampoule 5. Cream.

37B. If you're double-cleansing after heavy sunscreen, fully emulsify the oil cleanser with water before adding this Foam — skipping that step leaves a filmy residue this foam alone can't lift. If you're in air-conditioning most of the day, follow promptly with a hydrating toner and moisturizer, since foaming surfactants transiently raise water loss until sealed. If your skin currently feels tight or flaky (barrier-compromised), drop to once-daily PM-only use with lukewarm water until it normalizes.

37C. Bundles:

• Centella Cleanse & Calm: this Foam + Toning Toner 30ml + Soothing Cream 30ml — a gentle daily-driver core routine.
• Full Centella AM System: this Foam + Ampoule 30ml + Cream 30ml + Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml — cleanse, treat, moisturize, protect.
• PM Double-Cleanse Duo: this Foam + Light Cleansing Oil 30ml — for evenings you wore sunscreen or makeup.

37D. After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

37E. The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

38A. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml is the exact same formula and INCI in a larger pump-dispenser bottle rather than this squeeze tube. There is no clinical or concentration difference — the trade-off is purely format and volume: the pump gives faster, more consistent per-use dosing, while this 20ml tube is easier to travel with and lower-commitment if you haven't tried the formula yet.

38B-0. Choose the 20ml tube over the 125ml pump bottle if you need low commitment or portability: it's the same cleanser, just sized for trialing or travel rather than daily long-term use.

38B-2. If you've never tried this formula before, start with the 20ml before committing to the 125ml. If you travel frequently or fly carry-on only, the 20ml packs easier. If you already know you tolerate it well and use it twice daily, the 125ml needs reordering less often.

If you're testing for a possible fungal-acne reaction (Sec. 30), trial the smaller size first rather than risk a full 125ml bottle. If your skin is currently barrier-compromised, neither size fixes that — reduce frequency of whichever one you own, per Sec. 12D.

38B-3. Both sizes function identically AM and PM, rinse off in about 60 seconds, and occupy the same "Rinse/Gentle Cleanse" slot in the routine map (Sec. 8B) regardless of size.

38B-4. Don't upgrade to the 125ml if: you're not yet sure you tolerate the coconut-surfactant blend; you already have another daily cleanser open and unfinished (see Sec. 39); or you tend not to finish large bottles before their PAO expires.

38B-5. If you match two or more of the upgrade triggers above, the 20ml is the right starting point; if you already know this formula works for you, the 125ml is the more economical long-term option. Consistency beats complexity either way.

39A. This product's PRIMARY function is: daily removal of sebum, sweat, and light makeup without stripping the acid mantle. You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished, gentle, fragrance-free, low-pH foaming cleanser — finish that first.

39B. Check the PAO symbol printed on your tube (exact months not independently confirmed by our research this run) — buying a new cleanser while an existing one is close to its PAO expiry is wasted product.

39C. Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already use a different gentle Centella-based foaming cleanser (same mechanism). Significant Benefit if you currently only double-cleanse with an oil cleanser and skip a proper water-based second cleanse — this fills that gap.

Quick verification tips for this SKU: the front label should be matte white, not glossy or greyish. This 20ml ships as a soft squeezable tube with a pop-open cap — a different format from the 125ml's pump bottle, and no format-specific counterfeit marker for this tube was confirmed this run, so treat these as general brand-wide precautions. You can check the batch code at CheckFresh to confirm the manufacture date, and the barcode should begin with GS1 prefix 8809576.

SKIN1004 built its catalog around Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar as a shared base ingredient across most of its lineup, this cleanser included. Whether the brand manufactures in-house or through contract manufacturers is not publicly confirmed.

No review was found that is specifically about this 20ml size — every theme below comes from aggregator summaries discussing the shared formula generally (mostly citing the 125ml listing), not a genuinely 20ml-specific testimonial. No Reddit r/AsianBeauty or r/SkincareAddiction thread was found for either size.

One aggregated review (via SkinSort) described the formula as a "life saver" that helped reduce acne, particularly for oily skin — paraphrased from a search summary, platform noted, no username available. Against that, a minority of reviewers reported the opposite of the brand's non-stripping claim, describing dryness or a "stripped" feeling after use.

A blog post titled "Why I Didn't Finish Using the SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam" signals a negative-leaning experience exists, but its actual content could not be read this run, so the specific reason is unknown — we are not speculating on it here.

Recycle the empty tube according to your local plastics guidance; this format is not marketed as refillable.

Is this a leave-on ampoule or a cleanser? It's a rinse-off foaming cleanser. "Ampoule Foam" is SKIN1004's naming convention for this product line, not a claim that it's a leave-on treatment.

Is it fragrance-free? Yes — no Parfum, Fragrance, or essential oil appears in the declared INCI.

Is it fungal-acne safe? Not guaranteed. The main surfactant is widely considered FA-safe, but the broader surfactant blend is flagged as a possible concern by some trackers, and it hasn't been resolved for this exact formula.

Can I use the 20ml daily, or is it only for travel? You can use it daily — it's the identical formula to the 125ml, just in a smaller tube. The 20ml simply runs out faster.

Does it actually help with acne? One aggregated review described it helping reduce acne; this is anecdotal, not a clinical claim, and the product contains no acne-treatment actives like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Acid mantle

The skin's naturally slightly-acidic surface film (pH 4.5-5.5) that helps keep out bacteria and hold in moisture.

pH

A 0-14 scale measuring acidity; skin-friendly cleansers target roughly 4.5-5.5, close to skin's own level.

Surfactant

An ingredient that lifts oil and dirt so water can rinse it away — the basis of any foaming cleanser.

TEWL

Trans-Epidermal Water Loss — how fast water evaporates from skin; higher TEWL means a weaker barrier.

Fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis)

Small, uniform, itchy bumps caused by yeast overgrowth, not bacterial acne — some ingredients can feed it.

PAO

Period After Opening — the symbol on packaging (e.g. "12M") showing how many months a product stays good once opened.

MFDS

Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which regulates cosmetics and registers "functional" claims.

Double cleanse

An oil-based cleanse followed by a water-based cleanse, used to fully remove sunscreen or makeup.

INCI

The standardized international naming system used to list cosmetic ingredients.

Best for: anyone in Mauritius's heat wanting a fragrance-free, pH 5, coconut-derived-surfactant cleanser for oily, combination, or acne-prone skin — and anyone who wants to trial the formula in a low-commitment size before buying the 125ml.

Key benefits: pH 5 formulation, fragrance-free with no EU-26 allergens detected, gentle coconut-derived surfactant blend rather than harsher sulfates, PETA-verified cruelty-free and vegan status.

Keep in mind: the Centella concentration is not publicly disclosed and two conflicting figures could not be verified; fungal-acne safety is conditional, not guaranteed; no review specific to this exact 20ml size was found.

Assessment: Consult Oncologist. This formula is fragrance-free and retinoid-free with a modest, non-paraben preservative system (1,2-Hexanediol, Potassium Benzoate), which are generally favorable characteristics for treatment-sensitized skin — but it has not been independently evaluated for oncology-specific safety.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.
