HERRSAINE Rich Cranberry Cleanser

Position one on the HERRSAINE Rich Cranberry Cleanser is glycerin, ahead of water — which is unusual enough in a 130g face wash to explain the Rich in the name before you read anything else. Positions three to seven are four mild surfactants in a row: sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium lauroyl glutamate and coco-betaine. That is the amino-acid and isethionate family, the gentle end of the cleansing shelf, and it is set to a weakly acidic pH rather than the alkaline of a soap. One reviewer explains why that matters — the skin's own acid mantle sits between roughly pH 4.5 and 6.5, and an alkaline wash knocks it out temporarily every time.
