Coconut and corn derived natural surfactants for gentle face cleansing.

Decyl Glucoside & Cocamidopropyl Betaine

 

Turn on the TV, and every face wash commercial shows a woman splashing huge, fluffy clouds of white foam onto her face. We have been conditioned to believe that More Foam = More Clean.

But scientifically, that foam is often the enemy.

High-foaming agents (usually Sulfates like SLS) are cheap detergents that strip your skin of its natural oils. That is why we formulated our Glow Cleanse differently.

If you read our label, you will see complex names like Decyl Glucoside and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Don't let the science names scare you. Here is why these plant-based cleansers are the heroes of a gentle routine.

1. Decyl Glucoside (The Coconut Cleaner)

Despite the chemical name, Decyl Glucoside is derived from Coconut and Corn Starch. It is biodegradable and incredibly gentle.

The Difference: Unlike harsh sulfates which scour the skin, Decyl Glucoside lifts dirt gently. It creates a modest, creamy lather rather than a stripping "bubble bath" foam.

The Benefit: It cleanses without disrupting your Acid Mantle (the skin's protective barrier).

2. Cocamidopropyl Betaine (The Foam Booster)

We pair it with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a fatty acid derived from Coconut Oil. It acts as a surfactant (cleaner) but also has conditioning properties. It ensures that the cleanser spreads easily across your face without feeling watery or dragging on your skin.

Why "Low Foam" is Better

If your cleanser bubbles up like shampoo, it’s likely too alkaline for your face (pH 9+). Our Coconut/Corn blend allows us to keep the Glow Cleanse at a skin-friendly pH.

You might miss the giant bubbles at first, but your skin won't miss the tightness.

Clean Without the "Ouch"

You shouldn't have to choose between a clean face and a comfortable face.

Experience the difference of Sulfate-Free cleansing with the Joyful Glow System. We are so confident that your skin will prefer this gentle coconut blend that we offer our 60-Day Love Your Glow Guarantee. If you don't feel the difference, we will refund you in full.
