“Calendula Rice Mochi Cleanser”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coconut acid, glyceryl stearate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate

Sodium cocoyl isethionateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~4.3–6.4%
Sodium cocoyl glycinateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~3.5–5.3%

Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as cleansing agent~1.4–2.2%

What the product description says
“Hier handelt es sich um ein richtig luxuriöses All-in-One-Ritual, das in einem Schritt reinigt, peelt und Make-up entfernt.”

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
