Product overview
Description
Key Ingredients
- Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange) Extract: a botanical/fragrance extract providing the orange scent and citrus positioning of this product -- this is the only citrus-related ingredient found in the disclosed formula
- Important formula note: despite the "Vitamin C" product name, MedEasy could not find any vitamin C or vitamin C derivative (such as Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, or 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) in the disclosed ingredient list for this product. The "Vitamin C" naming appears to refer to the orange fragrance/extract positioning rather than a standardized, disclosed vitamin C active
- Cleansing base: Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and Decyl Glucoside form the surfactant/cleansing system
- Allantoin: a soothing, skin-conditioning agent
- Also contains Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-7, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Chloride, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, color, and fragrance (Parfum), with DMDM Hydantoin as a preservative -- DMDM Hydantoin is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative that can be a sensitizer for some users, disclosed here for transparency
- Sourcing note: this ingredient list was sourced from a third-party Bangladesh retailer, since Lavino's own official product page does not publish a full ingredient panel
Key Features
- A shower gel from Lavino, a Bangladesh-based brand ("a concern of Unicorn"), positioned around orange extract and marketed under a "Vitamin C" name
- Standard cleansing shower gel formula with fragrance and a mild surfactant base
Benefits
- Functions as a standard fragranced cleansing shower gel with a sweet orange scent
- Marketing-claims note: the brand's own marketing describes this product as offering "antioxidant protection," helping "slow the aging process," and "boosting collagen production." MedEasy did not find any active ingredient in the disclosed formula (such as a standardized antioxidant, retinoid, or peptide) capable of supporting these specific effects, and no vitamin C derivative could be confirmed in the ingredient list at all. This description avoids repeating these claims, and instead describes the product's realistic function as a fragranced daily cleanser
