Works for
CleansingSodium lauroamphoacetate, Sodium cocoyl glutamateCleanses gently
“Hand and Body Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroamphoacetate) 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.
