Product overview
Key Ingredients
Based on the brand's own official website, matching exactly with a Bangladeshi retailer's listing, this face wash's formula is: Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Fermented Rice Water, Potassium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Decyl Glucoside, Lauric Acid, Glycol Distearate, Glyceryl Monostearate, Sodium PCA, Phenoxyethanol, Oryza sativa (Rice) Extract, Polyquaternium-7, Niacinamide, Titanium Dioxide, Glyceryl Glucoside, IFRA Certified Allergen-Free Fragrance, Vitamin E, Tinogard TT, and Sodium Gluconate. Niacinamide is confirmed present in the formula, but no specific percentage or concentration is stated for this face wash on the official site or retailer listing; a "4%" niacinamide figure exists for a different, related Mamaearth product (a toner), which we have not applied to this face wash.
Key Features
Mamaearth is an Indian personal care brand from Honasa Consumer Ltd. This face wash combines Fermented Rice Water and Rice Extract with Niacinamide, marketed under a "glass skin" positioning intended to deeply cleanse while brightening and revitalizing the skin's appearance.
Benefits
Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient generally associated with supporting an even skin tone and a healthier-looking skin barrier, though its typical effects in a rinse-off cleanser (brief contact time) are generally milder than in a leave-on treatment. Decyl Glucoside is a mild, plant-derived cleansing surfactant. The brand markets this face wash as reducing the appearance of acne marks and dark spots and improving skin tone and texture; we recommend treating these as the brand's cosmetic marketing claims rather than independently verified clinical outcomes.
Who Can Use This Product
This face wash is marketed for daily use across all skin types. The brand states it is dermatologically tested and free from parabens and sulfates. As with any new skincare product, we recommend a patch test before regular use, particularly for those with known sensitivities to any of the listed ingredients or to fragrance (note this product does contain a fragrance, described as "IFRA Certified Allergen-Free," though sensitive individuals may still wish to patch test).
How to Use
Apply to a wet face, gently massaging in circular motions (focusing on the forehead, nose, and chin), then rinse and pat dry. The brand recommends use twice daily.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. A patch test is recommended before regular use. Note that the color and fragrance of this product may naturally vary slightly between batches, per the brand. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops.
