CYKLAR Sensorial Body Wash for Moisture Barrier
Lower concern for a rinse-off body wash, but brand silence on PFAS leaves room for uncertainty.
Body washes are rinse-off cosmetics with minimal PFAS exposure risk compared to leave-on products or treated textiles. However, Corpus Christi provides no public disclosure about PFAS in ingredients, formulants, or manufacturing, standard practice but not reassuring.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
CYKLAR is an aqueous body wash, meaning water plus surfactants (cleansing agents), humectants (moisture-binding compounds like glycerin), and preservatives to prevent microbial growth. The 'Sensorial' marketing suggests added fragrance compounds and possibly botanical extracts. Body washes are rinse-off products, so dermal exposure is brief and residual absorption is minimal, but preservatives and fragrance allergens can still trigger sensitivity in susceptible users.
The brand's record and disclosure
Corpus Christi does not publicly disclose PFAS status or ingredient sourcing transparency on available records. The brand has not published third-party certifications (e.g., EWG Verified, Leaping Bunny) that would signal rigorous safety testing. No major recalls or controversies are documented for this specific product, but the absence of proactive safety communication is notable in a category where many competitors now highlight PFAS avoidance and clean ingredient lists.
How it compares in its category
Body washes vary widely in disclosure and formulation rigor. Premium or eco-certified brands (e.g., Burt's Bees, Acure) typically publish full ingredient lists and PFAS commitments. Mass-market alternatives often withhold detailed preservative or fragrance sub-component data. CYKLAR's 'moisture barrier' claim suggests humectant focus, which is standard; the lack of visible third-party testing distinguishes it as mid-tier in transparency relative to category leaders.
If you buy it
Use as directed: apply to wet skin, lather, and rinse thoroughly to minimize contact time. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin. Do not ingest. If irritation or rash develops, discontinue and consult a healthcare provider. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent preservative degradation. Body washes do not require replacement based on time limits like leave-on products; discard if separation, odor change, or visible discoloration occurs, signaling preservative failure.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Preservative sensitization (phenoxyethanol, methylisothiazolinone, or parabens)
Typical body wash preservatives can trigger contact dermatitis or allergic response in individuals with sensitive skin. Corpus Christi does not publicly list CYKLAR's preservative system, so specific risk cannot be assessed without full ingredient disclosure.
Fragrance allergens (undisclosed sub-components)
Fragrance is listed on labels as a single ingredient even though it contains dozens of compounds. Linalool, limonene, and eugenol are common allergens in body wash fragrances. 'Sensorial' positioning suggests fragrance prominence, but Corpus Christi does not publish fragrance component transparency.
Formaldehyde releasers in preservative system
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., DMDM hydantoin) are less common in modern body washes but remain in some formulations. No public records indicate CYKLAR uses these agents, but absence of ingredient disclosure prevents definitive exclusion.
Microplastic or exfoliating particles (polyethylene beads, silica)
The product name does not suggest a scrub formulation, and rinse-off body washes typically do not contain microbeads in post-2019 markets. However, ingredient list is not publicly available to confirm absence.
Heavy metal contamination in colorants or mineral additives
Body washes do not require heavy pigmentation, so cosmetic-grade colorant risk is low. The 'moisture barrier' claim suggests humectants rather than mineral or pigment loads. No public contamination reports for this brand or product exist.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
