The Science of Spectro Cleansers

Spectro® cleansers are different. They do not contain sodium-based ingredients. Instead, they use a special silicone class of surfactants that don't clog pores and are among the least irritating of all surfactants. Spectro® cleansers penetrate the pores and gently surround and lift bacteria, dirt, excess oil and make-up away from the skin for easy removal by wiping or rinsing.

Spectro® cleansers contain a blend of moisturizers (emollients & humectants) that help restore water to the skin and stop more water from being lost. They also help revitalize the damaged protective barrier and make your skin feel soft and satiny smooth.

How does Spectro accomplish all of this?  By choosing the right ingredients, to give skin what it needs and what works.

   Description
 
 


Purified Water

     
 

Butylene Glycol

 

Humectant Moisturizer

  • An effective softener and moisturizer with added antimicrobial activity that's non-irritating to the skin

 
 

Glycerin

 

Humectant Moisturizer

  • Brings natural tissue fluids from deeper skin layers to the top layer of the skin, thereby making it soft and vibrant looking

 
 

Hydroxypropyl Methocellulose

 

Thickener/Stabilizer

  • Produces the smooth quality of Spectro Jel
  • Soothes and protects the skin if Spectro Jel is wiped off rather than rinsed off

 
 

Polysorbate 20

 

Non-ionic Surfactant

  • An emulsifier which works to penetrate pores and gently lift bacteria, dirt and excess oil away from the skin

 
 

Cetyl Alcohol

 

Emollient Moisturizer

  • Very effective as a skin moisturizer and produces a smooth, velvety feel  

 
 

Hydrated Silica

 

Emollient

  • A barrier that forms a protective coating on the skin's surface


 
 

PEG-12 Dimethicone

 

Silicone based Surfactant & Emollient Moisturizer

  • Serves as a very effective deep pore cleanser; i.e. it penetrates and rinses out the skin pores in order to allow them to "breathe"
  • Also removes surface oils from the skin and leaves it fresh looking, without drying out the skin, because it preserves the natural oils of the deeper skin layers

 
 

Diazolidinyl Urea

 

Non-sodium or paraben based Preservative

  • Protects the cleanser against bacterial growth without being harsh on the skin


 
 

Carbomer

 

Thickening Agent

  • Maintains the consistency of the cleanser


 
 

Triethanolamine

 

pH balancer

  • an acid neutralizing agent which helps to keep Spectro at the natural pH of skin

 
 

Sorbitan Oleate
