Padmaka Face Wash: What a gentle facial cleansing system is designed to do

The role of this product

Padmaka brings together cleansing surfactants, humectants and botanical extracts in a rinse-off routine. A comfortable cleanser balances soil removal with the skin’s after-feel.

How the formulation works

Glutamate, taurate, SCI and cocamidopropyl betaine contribute to cleansing. Glycerin, betaine and panthenol help shape the after-feel. Lotus, aloe and liquorice are botanical ingredients, but a brief wash contact time differs from the leave-on preparations used in many ingredient studies.
