What Each Ingredient Actually Does
No ingredient in The Daily Reset is filler. Here’s the role each one plays, grouped roughly by function — cleansing base, actives, and support/stability.
The solvent base of the formula. Every other ingredient is dissolved or dispersed in purified water, which also makes up the bulk of the gel texture.
A mild, amino-acid-derived surfactant that replaces harsher sulphates like SLS or SLES. It lifts away oil, sweat, and sunscreen without stripping the skin’s natural barrier — the reason The Daily Reset can claim sulphate-free.
A gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that works alongside Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate to boost lather and cleansing power while keeping the overall formula mild enough for daily, twice-a-day use.
Derived from coconut fatty acids, this ingredient thickens the gel and stabilises the foam, giving the cleanser its rich lather without relying on stronger, more drying surfactants.
One of the most well-studied humectants in skin care — it draws moisture into the skin during cleansing, offsetting the naturally drying effect of any surfactant-based wash.
Aloe vera juice at a meaningful 5% concentration calms and hydrates the skin as you cleanse, which pairs well with the exfoliating action of salicylic acid elsewhere in the formula.
A skin-conditioning polymer that leaves a light, non-greasy softness behind after rinsing, reducing the “tight” or squeaky-clean feeling that harsher cleansers can leave.
Vitamin B3 at a clinically supported 3.5%. It helps regulate excess sebum production, supports barrier function, and works in direct synergy with the salicylic acid in this formula — niacinamide controls the oil that salicylic acid then clears from the pore.
Common salt, used here in tiny amounts purely to thicken the gel to the right consistency — not as an active ingredient.
The only oil-soluble exfoliating acid, meaning it can penetrate into sebum-filled pores rather than just working on the surface. At 1% — widely regarded as the optimal daily-use concentration — it clears congestion, reduces breakout frequency, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits without the over-exfoliation risk of higher strengths.

Converts to pantothenic acid on the skin, supporting barrier repair and locking in moisture. It’s included specifically to counterbalance the exfoliating action of salicylic acid elsewhere in the formula.
A widely used, globally approved preservative that keeps the water-based formula free from bacterial and fungal contamination across its shelf life. Used at standard, regulated cosmetic concentrations.
Helps solubilise and evenly disperse other ingredients through the gel base, contributing to the product’s smooth, consistent texture.
Capable of holding many times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin during the cleanse itself — a step that’s usually left entirely to serums and moisturisers in most routines.
One of the two ceramide types naturally found in the skin’s outer barrier. It helps replace lipids that cleansing can strip away, supporting the skin’s ability to retain moisture and resist irritation.
Works alongside Ceramide NP as a complementary barrier lipid. The two together more closely mimic the skin’s natural ceramide composition than either would alone, reinforcing barrier repair during and after cleansing.
Used in small, controlled amounts to balance the formula’s pH, keeping it in a range that’s both effective for the actives and comfortable for daily skin contact.
Binds trace metal ions that can otherwise be introduced through water or packaging, which helps preserve the formula’s stability, texture, and shelf life.
