Charcoal & Tea Tree Oil Cleansing Wash

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polysorbate 20, shea butter glycereth-8 esters) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
