It does not contain the typical surfactants that most cleansers contain. It is composed of oils and fats which are mild and effective cleansing agents. All oils and fats are a mixture of triglycerides with a different fatty acid attached. To further explain, an oil molecule is formed from one glycerin molecule and three fatty acid molecules. All fatty acid molecules are lipophilic and hydrophilic. Lipophilic means that it has a great affinity for oil. Hydrophilic means that it has a great affinity for water.

The hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water which helps the water "wet" the surface to be cleaned, permitting the water to reach more of the surface. With out the "wetting" assistance of the hydrophilic molecules, the product would bead up on the skin and not soak the surface. The lipophilic molecules act like a magnet and are attracted to dirt and oils. They embed into the dirt and remove it. The lipophilic molecules show an affinity toward oil and the molecules squeeze together in an attempt to escape water. The action of the hydrophilic molecules and the lipophilic molecules allows the cleanser to break the surface tension and forces water into the skin, allowing it to and remove the dirt and oils beyond your skin surface.

Directions: Cleanse face in the morning and evening. Splash your face generously with tepid to slightly warm water. Apply a small amount of cleanser onto your clean fingertips.
