The ingredients that make oil and water behave

Left alone, an oil phase and a water phase separate. Emulsifiers sit on the boundary between them with a water-loving head and an oil-loving tail, holding the two together so a cream stays a cream from first pump to last. Surfactants perform the same trick in reverse inside a cleanser, lifting sebum and sunscreen into water so both rinse away.

That covers 163 products, and the range is deliberately wide: rich creams such as SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream and Epicutis Hyvia Crème, treatment serums including TNS Recovery Complex, and daily sunscreens like EltaMD UV Restore Tinted SPF 40.

Do surfactants strip the skin barrier?

Harsh ones can. Gentler options, particularly coco-derived betaines and sugar-based glucosides, clean effectively at a pH closer to skin's own, which is why the professional cleansers stocked here rarely leave that tight, squeaky feeling behind.

How to shop at ELLEMES

“I LOVE this eye cream. I have tried so many eye creams and they usually either irritate my skin or just don’t do anything for me. This has given me almost immediate results without any irritation....”
