Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Cleansing Ritual
Works for
CleansingSucrose laurate, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 5 moreCleanses gently
“Charlotte Tilbury's Citrus Oil Cleanse is a coconut-oil-based skin wonder that melts makeup away.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sucrose laurate, sucrose palmitate, 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, decyl glucoside
