Christian Dior DIOR La Mousse OFF/ON Foaming Cleanser
Works for
CleansingLauric acid, Stearic acid + 6 moreCleanses gently
“Formulated with 90%* natural-origin ingredients, La Mousse OFF/ON Foaming Cleanser is infused with purifying water lily** sourced from Dior's new Latour Marliac gardens. Suitable for all skin types, this foaming cleanser removes makeup and eliminates impurities while preserving the skin's hydration.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, glyceryl stearate, lauric acid, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, 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: coco-betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
