The 100 points
We split HA5 Hydra Collagen Hydrating Foaming Cleanser with Vegan Collagen into 3 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.
Glutamate and alaninate surfactants clean gently without sulfates.
Humectants that leave skin less tight after rinsing.
Extra humectants in a rinse-off, so the benefit is small.
No close retail equivalent: we credit at most 50% of these points.
Optional
61 / 100. We have not found a shelf product that closes more of the gap yet.
90 is our ceiling. Collagen, urea and trehalose has no close retail equivalent, so we cap it at 50% credit.
