“A delicate foaming and exfoliating cleanser infused with botanicals to soften and moisturize skin while effectively removing all traces of makeup and impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide mea, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, hydrogenated castor oil, lauric acid, lauryl hydroxysultaine, myristic acid, palmitic acid, peg-10 stearate, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid) 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
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A delicate foaming and exfoliating cleanser infused with botanicals to soften and moisturize skin while effectively removing all traces of makeup and impurities.”
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.
