Water range ingredients

As The Nude Alchemist, transparency is one of our key values. It is important for us to explain some of the more unusual ingredients included in our water range.
All ingredients listed below are naturally-derived, meaning they are processed from their natural counterpart. We needed our water range to function in a certain way, which is why we needed to include these.
Coconut

coconut sugar

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

A sulphate-free surfactant derived from coconuts and sugars, is very mild and perfect for sensitive skin. Cleanses, adds to foam and is an excellent conditioning agent.
