APIVITA Royal Honey Creamy Shower Gel with Essential Oils
Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Coco-betaine + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Gently cleanses the skin without drying, leaving behind a silky sensation.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, polysorbate 20, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium lauroyl 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: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
