Q: why is sodium cocoyl isethonate an ingredient in something that's supposed to be hypoallergenic when coconut is a nut that can cause an allergic reaction?

submitted by Smartykat - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi there! The hypoallergenicity clinical result comes from testing the product formulation as a whole. It is not dependent on any one ingredient. When tested, the product did not demonstrate a potential to elicit dermal irritation or induce sensitization. Should you have concerns on ingredients, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist who can give you recommendations for your unique skin concerns.

Honestly so good. I use this on my skin and it works wonders. I’m a teen and it’s fine for my skin, it smells like a regular cleanser just not to harsh. I like how it’s limited ingredients to. It lathers nicely and my skin always feels to clean after, I wet my face and then put this on. It’s also L fairly cheap! I definitely would recommend for any age!!💕

Smelled very nice and went on really smooth. It didn’t leave any sticky feeling behind so it made me feel better especially when using it before bed. It was a great price for how much you get.

As someone with extremely sensitive skin (even cerave gives me a reaction) this is my absolute go to! It’s ingredients are clean, (scores a 100 on the Yuka app) It never drys me out. And it never cloges my pores. Plus it has niacinamide. 💕

This got rid of my acne pretty fast which made me feel more confident. The smell was fine. It didn’t have much of a smell, though. Most of the ingredients are good for your skin.

Very gentle. Not scented, not foaming. Not drying or stripping. However, I find it to be a bit too gentle and simple. It doesn’t make me feel super clean.

Very gentle and moisturizing

This cleanser is very gentle, and I like that. It is great for ultra sensitive skin but I don’t love it for the whole body. I find that I enjoy a body wash that can create a bit of a lather. I think in certain circumstances this gentle cleanser would be great, but for me it’s not something I would reach for daily. I would still highly recommend for anyone with extremely sensitive skin that just wants a more creamy non-lathering wash. It is the gold standard for many due to the fact that it is unscented, does not irritate, and leaves a protective barrier of sorts on the skin. Skin does feel very moisturized after use!

I have rosacea, and it flared up really badly. My face was red and burning. Living in the midwest and the weather changing. I looked online, and this was recommended. I have been using the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser with La Roche repair. My face is clearing up really fast, and the burning went away within two days

It's good! It's not like something magical that will instantly fix all your skin issues, but it's steady and reliable. I mostly use this for my face, but also for some general body use if I have any skin that's breaking out or feeling extra gross.

SO SO GENTLE

I've had a positive experience with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Its mild formula is gentle on my skin, making it suitable for daily use. I appreciate its fragrance-free nature, which is ideal for sensitive skin. The cleanser effectively removes impurities without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry. It doesn't irritate my eyes, and a little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective choice. While it may not be the most luxurious cleanser on the market, its simplicity and effectiveness make it a staple in my skincare routine.

I love the price and effectiveness. It’s easy to use and it takes a lot of my makeup off with one wash. I don’t have to keep putting it on my face to remove my makeup. The ingredients are ok and the scent is great.

This is great for sensitive skin, but I can't honestly tell if it does anything. But it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin so that's a plus.

Return to Original Formula

I've been using Cetaphil products for 40+ years. I was hopeful upon learning of new formulations and products, but came to be completely disappointed with the gentle skin cleanser. It doesn't remove my makeup nearly as well as the original formula, the consistency is thicker, and the aroma is unpleasant. I won't be buying this anymore. Why did you have to change an already outstanding product.
