“Clarify and refresh your complexion with the Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream ; a luxurious face wash that works to eliminate dirt and impurities without over-drying skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, quillaja saponaria bark extract, stearic acid, sucrose stearate, 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: coco-glucoside
