Medicprogress hemp shower gel 200 ml

This gel addresses a recurring problem in rinse-off cosmetics: regular plant oil added to the cleansing product washes away with water and fails to do anything. Therefore, the manufacturer used a different form of the raw material, namely water-soluble esters of hemp seed oil, listed as Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Glycereth-8 Esters. Alongside are panthenol, which is provitamin B5, glycerin acting as a humectant, and vitamin E. The cleansing base is based on mild coconut surfactants, cocamidopropyl betaine, and coco-glucoside, rather than strong sulfate detergents. The bottle holds 200 ml, and the manufacturer describes the formula as suitable for daily washing, including for children, with the application for children entrusted to adults. In the fragrance composition, the manufacturer declares four allergens subject to notification in the European Union, so for skin reacting to fragrance substances, it is advisable to start with a patch test on a small area of skin and wait a few hours.

Ingredients

Ingredients that the manufacturer describes as active:

• Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Glycereth-8 Esters, which is the water-soluble form of hemp seed oil
• Panthenol, which is provitamin B5
• Glycerin, a humectant that binds water in the epidermis
• Vitamin E as an antioxidant ingredient
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a coconut surfactant
• Coco-Glucoside, a second coconut surfactant

Three things from this list have practical significance. The first is the form of the oil itself: water-soluble esters remain on the skin during washing, while pure hemp seed oil in such a formula would simply wash down the drain. This solution is specifically developed for rinse-off products. The second is the cleansing base. Cocamidopropyl betaine and coco-glucoside are coconut-derived surfactants, milder than strong sulfate detergents, which in high concentrations can dry out the skin. The foam is dense with them, and after rinsing, there is no feeling of tightness. The third is the fragrance composition: the manufacturer declares among others Linalool, Limonene, Coumarin, and Hexyl Cinnamal, which are ingredients subject to declaration in the European Union. This is practical information, not a formality: these four items are responsible for most reactions to cleansing cosmetics in people with reactive skin, so it is worth starting to read the list on the bottle from them.

For whom

This gel is for someone with dry skin or skin that easily reacts to washing and is looking for a product that does not require immediately reaching for a balm. The coconut-based formula instead of strong detergents is the main argument, and the water-soluble form of hemp oil is the second: thanks to it, the raw material remains on the skin instead of washing away with the foam. The second group is families, as the manufacturer describes the formula as suitable for washing children, with the caveat that the application should be performed by an adult. The third group is people who build their care around one brand, as MedicProgress also offers a hemp shampoo in the same volume. If your skin tends to react to fragrance substances, pay attention to the declared allergens and perform a patch test on a small area before the first full use. The bottle holds 200 ml, which is the same as a typical shower gel package, so it does not require changing habits or space in the bathroom.
