    So this is the first time I’ve seen alkanolamide and/or amine oxide used as primary surfantant.
    I always wondered why they were never used as primary despite their long presence.
    The third surfactant is interesting too. It resembles some old amphoteric surfactant (aminopropionate/iminodipropionate, I think) which you only find in old books but not todays store (Why?).
    Unfortunately this Face Wash was discontinued recently due to “we can no longer obtain the ingredients needed to make Face Wash”. Or I’d absolutely like to try. Reportedly this was mild, foamy and effective.
    Ingredient
    water/aqua/eau, lauramide DEA, lauramine oxide, disodium lauryliminodiacetate, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, TEA-cocoyl glutamate, butylene glycol, glycol distearate, phenoxyethanol, citric acid, pentylene glycol, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, serine, etidronic acid, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil, tocopherol, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract

    The two aren’t the primary surfactants, they’re just first on the LOI ;) . The surfactants are the four subsequent ingredients.
