Introduction: Why cleaning is not the same as cleaning

Anyone who believes cleansing is just the first, "simple" step in skincare underestimates its importance: Only when the skin is thoroughly yet gently cleansed can active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, or microsilver unfold their full molecular anti-aging effect . The answer to this challenge is a new generation of products: the 2-phase cleansing foam .

🔬 What does “2-phase cleansing” really mean in cosmetics?

In contrast to conventional (1-phase) cleansing products, a 2-phase product combines an oily phase (to remove fat-soluble residues such as sebum, make-up, UV filters) with an aqueous-surfactant phase (to remove water-soluble impurities and fine dust).

Only by shaking before application do these phases combine to form a homogeneous cleaning foam that:

• deep cleanses pores

• does not dry out

• protects the skin barrier

• and the skin is ideally prepared for the following active ingredients

🔄 Comparison: 1-phase vs. 2-phase cleaning systems

feature	1-phase cleaning foam	2-phase cleansing foam (e.g. BEAUÉTAL)
Cleaning of fat-soluble residues	Limited (e.g. with waterproof make-up)	Thorough thanks to lipophilic phase
Cleaning of water-soluble substances	Yes	Yes
Skin-friendliness	Often irritating due to surfactants	Very high – gentle surfactants & lipids combined
Suitable for all skin types	Only with very mild formulations	Yes, especially suitable for sensitive skin
Preparing for anti-aging	Restricted	Optimal, as no residue, no barrier

🌿 The formulation: cleaning power meets skin protection

The BEAUÉTAL 2-Phase Cleansing Foam is natural, vegan, and free from irritants. Its formula contains a combination of mild surfactants , plant lipids , and bioactive hydrolates :

INCI	function	Benefit for the skin
Glycine Soja Oil	vegetable oil, lipophilic phase	Gently removes make-up and sebum, nourishes the skin
Cocoglucoside	non-ionic surfactant	Mild cleansing, skin-friendly, nature-based
Hamamelis Virginiana Water	astringent hydrolate	Pore-refining, anti-inflammatory
Lippia Citriodora (Verbene) Water	soothing herbal water	Reduces redness, refreshes
Aloe Vera Leaf Extract	moisturizing	Soothing, supports regeneration
Tocopherol (vitamin E)	antioxidant	Protects against free radicals, strengthens barrier

👉 Especially important: These ingredients cleanse without stripping the skin , which makes them ideal for mature, sensitive or inflammation-prone skin - e.g. rosacea, acne or perioral dermatitis.

💡 Why this gentle cleansing is so important for molecular bio-anti-aging

In order to deliver active ingredients such as low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (3 kDa) , microsilver or peptides into the depths, the skin must:

• be free of films (e.g. silicones, oil residues, PEGs)

• not irritated , but moistened

• be microbiome stabilized

BEAUÉTAL’s 2-phase foam prepares the skin precisely for these conditions.

❌ You should avoid these substances in cleaning products

Many supposedly gentle cleansing products contain hidden irritants that disrupt the skin barrier or dry out the skin in the long term.

INCI	Effect	Why avoid?
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil	Emulsifier	Ethoxylate – increases permeability, not biodegradable
Sodium Laureth Sulfate	Surfactant	Very strong, drying, irritating
Ceteareth-20	Emulsifier	Petroleum-based, not natural cosmetics compliant
Alcohol denat.	Preservative, degreasing	Irritates and dries out
Mineral Oil / Paraffin	Refatting agent, film-forming	Comedogenic, closes pores
Dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane	Silicones	Simulate skin smoothness, prevent absorption of active ingredients
Perfume	fragrance	Often allergenic, no caring benefit

🧴 Important: NONE of these substances are contained in any BEAUÉTAL product.
Our cleanser is PEG-free, silicone-free, alcohol-free and free of synthetic fragrance.
