“Experience a soothing cleanse with BYBI Beauty’s Milk Melt; a gently-foaming vegan facial cleanser that purifies and soothes with its calming oat milk base.”

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylic acid, coco-glucoside, lauryl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 laurate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, sorbitan laurate, 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

Coco-glucosideEffect: HighUsed as a cleansing agent (surfactant) in cleansers. Helps water and oil mix together in lotions. Can be irritating~5.2–7.8%
Sorbitan laurateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~2.5–3.8%
Sodium cocoamphoacetateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam~2–3%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~1.3–1.9%
Lauryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.1–1.7%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~0.95–1.45%
Sodium lauryl glucose carboxylateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent~0.85–1.25%
