CleansingPeg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, Polysorbate 20 + 2 moreCleanses gently
“From the inventor of micellar technology, Hydrabio H2O is a micellar water cleanser for dry skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetrimonium bromide, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, polysorbate 20) 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.
