Johnson's Daily Essentials Gentle Exfoliating Wash 150ml150ml

Key Ingredients

• Important sourcing note -- exfoliating particle discrepancy: MedEasy found two different ingredient panels for this product from independent sources, disagreeing specifically on the physical exfoliating particle used. One set of sources lists Cellulose (a biodegradable, plant-derived exfoliating material, consistent with an industry-wide shift away from plastic microbeads), while another retailer's listing shows Polyethylene (a plastic microplastic material that several markets, including the UK, have restricted in rinse-off cosmetic products since around 2018) in a similar position on the ingredient list. MedEasy could not resolve this discrepancy without access to the physical product packaging, so this description does not assert a specific exfoliant material -- customers who wish to confirm should check the ingredient panel printed on their physical bottle
• Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside: the cleansing surfactant system in this formula
• Copper Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Magnesium Aspartate: trace minerals included in the formula, supporting the brand's "skin-loving minerals" marketing language
• Full confirmed ingredient list (Cellulose version, per skinsafeproducts.com): Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Cellulose, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Betaine, Copper Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate, Magnesium Aspartate, Parfum, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Glyceryl Oleate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Tocopherol, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, TEA-Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylates Crosspolymer, Sodium Benzoate

Who Can Use This Product

• Adults looking for a gentle exfoliating facial wash as part of a regular cleansing routine
• Those who specifically wish to avoid plastic microbeads in their skincare should be aware that MedEasy found conflicting information about this product's exfoliating particle and cannot confirm which material is used in the specific unit sold -- such customers may wish to verify against their physical packaging or choose a product with an unambiguous ingredient disclosure
• Those with sensitive or reactive skin should be cautious with physical exfoliants generally and monitor for irritation
