Do without aggressive surfactants when cleansing your face!

Facial cleansing should be thorough but gentle. Particularly sensitive and sensitive skin reacts to aggressive surfactants in cleansing products with redness and dryness. If the skin tightens and itches after facial cleansing, you should switch to cleansing products with mild detergent substances such as Coco Glucoside and Capryl Glucoside.

The ingredients should be carefully examined. Cleaning gels & Co. often contain not only aggressive surfactants but also allergenic fragrances. If these are not rinsed off thoroughly and residues remain on the skin, allergic reactions, redness and inflammation can quickly occur.

With nu:ju® you not only clean your face in a gentle way, you can even completely dispense with cleansing products, since make-up, even waterproof eye make-up, and dirt are completely removed even without surfactants. The study of ingredients thus becomes superfluous.

Skin-irritating surfactants include, among others:

• Sodium lauryl sulfate
• Sodium palm kernelate
• Sodium palmate
• Sodium tallowate
• Salvia officinalis (sage extract, essential oil)
• Soap (drying effect due to pH value >8)
• Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate
• Sodium cocoate
• TEA-lauryl sulfates

The following surfactants are particularly gentle to the skin:

• Lauric acid
• Polyglyceryl-3 rice branate
• Coco Glucosides
• Capryl glucosides
• Decyl Glucosides
• Glyceryl oleates
• and much more
