“The Amala Silkening Creamy Moisture Cleanse helps wash away dirt, makeup and impurities while rejuvenating skin with the gentle, nourishing formula.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, decyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate citrate, sodium stearoyl glutamate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside
