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
