Product overview
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser All Skin Types (59ml) is a soap-free facial cleanser from the Cetaphil brand, owned by Galderma (Galderma Laboratories, L.P. in the US; Galderma India Pvt Ltd for the India/South Asia market).
Sourcing note -- formula-version caveat: the ingredient list below matches the current, reformulated version of this product (containing Niacinamide and Panthenol), as confirmed consistently across Cetaphil's official US site, an India-based retailer's page specific to the 59ml SKU, and a US retailer's matching 2oz travel-size listing. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has historically had a different, older formula in some markets (containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and other ingredients not in the current list) before this reformulation; it could not be fully ruled out that older/parallel-import stock using the legacy formula may still circulate in some South Asian markets, so this should be treated as reflecting the current official formula rather than a guarantee for every physical unit.
