Gentle Foaming Cleanser

A decent cleanser base, but the sodium coco-sulfate keeps it from being truly gentle. The efficacy score is pulled to the middle because the formula has supportive humectants and soothing ingredients, but the surfactant system still includes a harsher sulfate as a primary cleansing component, so it is less barrier-friendly than the best low-irritation cleansers. If you're looking for vegan skincare, this is worth evaluating.

This is a fragrance free skincare formula, making it suitable as fragrance free skincare for sensitive skin. No S Tier gold-standard actives were detected. Flagged in D Tier: Sodium Coco-sulfate.

FormulaRx Gentle Foaming Cleanser has a safety score of 3.9/5. It contains potential irritants including Sodium Coco-sulfate. Patch testing is recommended. As a fragrance free moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin care, it avoids common triggers for reactivity.

Based on its formulation, FormulaRx Gentle Foaming Cleanser is best suited as a moisturizer for sensitive skin and best face wash for sensitive skin.

Based on DemythSkin's INCI analysis, no fragrance, parfum, or essential oils were detected in FormulaRx Gentle Foaming Cleanser's formula. This makes it a strong candidate as a fragrance free moisturiser for dry skin or fragrance free skincare for sensitive skin care routines. Always cross-check the current label as formulas can change.

DemythSkin scores every product out of 5.0 on two separate axes: Efficacy (does the formula deliver its claims?) and Safety (will it irritate?). Ingredients are graded S Tier (gold standards, high clinical proof), A Tier (reliable), B Tier (supporting), C Tier (overhyped | marketing) and D Tier (documented irritants — added fragrance, drying alcohol, essential oils). Preservatives, emulsifiers and thickeners are shown as formulation base and count as neither good nor bad, because treating them as hazards is fear rather than science.
