“Perfect for dry, textured and dehydrated skin, AMELIORATE’s Softening Bath Milk Oil is enriched with good-for-skin ingredients that help to replenish lost moisture, refine skin texture while also cleansing and nourishing skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoyl glutamate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, xanthan gum) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
ExfoliationUrea, Allantoin + 1 moreNot delivered
“The pH-balanced formula gently cleanses and clarifies the skin, melting away dead cells and impurities to resurface and refine for a touchably softer, smoother finish.”
