Let's examine the most significant ingredients in order of quantity.

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate.  It is a surfactant (removes dirt particles) N-acyl derivative of sarcosine used in cosmetics in liquid soaps, toothpastes and more. N-acyl derivatives of sarcosine are non-irritating and non-sensitizing to human and animal skin, although they may enhance the penetration of other ingredients through the skin.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Amphoteric zwitterionic chemical compound. It is a surfactant (removes dirt particles) of synthetic origin and is used in cosmetics and body wash products with an antimicrobial function. The CIR Panel concluded that because this ingredient does not exhibit significant toxicity, when formulated to be non-sensitizing (i.e., it can be based on a quantitative risk assessment), it is safe for use as a cosmetic ingredient in the use and concentration practices of this safety assessment. However, it should be remembered that repeated and prolonged use of surfactants may cause irritation and allergic contact dermatitis.

Il Lauryl Glucoside is a nonionic surfactant (removes dirt particles) that is not particularly aggressive. It is used to mitigate the somewhat aggressive action on the skin of SLES (sodium laureth sulphate).

Sodium Sheabutteramphoacetate is an amphoteric, amphoacetate surfactant produced from the triglycerides of Butirospermum Parkii (Shea) butter and derived from Shea oil. It can be formulated in a very wide pH range, from 3 to 10.

Some botanicals have been included, Aloe, Oats and most importantly there is no trace of colorants.

Conclusions.

Great product even with all-natural ingredients.
