The Organic Pharmacy Rose Facial Cleansing Gel — A Gentle, Hydration-First Cleanse for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin demands a cleanser that removes impurities without dismantling the barrier it relies on — this gel formula answers that call precisely. Natural tensio-actives lift away daily debris while Aloe Vera, Rosehip, and Panthenol work in concert to leave skin calm, cushioned, and measurably more resilient. Clinically proven to reduce transepidermal water loss by 13.7%, it reframes cleansing as an act of care rather than compromise.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aloe Vera | Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice | High | Humectant / Soothing Agent | Hydrates, calms irritation, supports repair in dry or sensitised skin |
| Rosehip Oil | Rosa Canina Fruit Oil | Mid | Antioxidant / Emollient | Delivers vitamins A and C to support epithelial cell regeneration and oxidative defence |
| Panthenol | Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) | Mid | Humectant / Anti-inflammatory | Attracts and retains moisture, softens skin texture, calms irritation and promotes healing |
| Natural Tensio-actives | Naturally-derived Surfactant Blend | High | Surfactant / Cleanser | Gently lifts impurities without disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance |
The formula's naturally derived tensio-actives solubilise sebum and environmental pollutants at the skin's surface without aggressively stripping the lipid matrix, preserving baseline hydration levels post-rinse. Panthenol functions as a hygroscopic humectant, binding water within the stratum corneum to clinically reduce transepidermal water loss — a key marker of barrier integrity. Aloe Vera's polysaccharide content delivers immediate soothing action and supports skin recovery, while Rosehip's vitamin A (retinol precursors) and vitamin C content promote epithelial regeneration and neutralise free radical activity. Together, these actives reposition a rinse-off cleanser as an active hydration and barrier-maintenance step. ---
