Clark's Botanical Heel and Hydrate B3 Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, Myristic acid + 9 moreCleanses gently
“This foaming, creamy cleanser was formulated with sea algae, green tea extract, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and vitamin C to purify, cleanse, brighten, energize, and improve tone for even the most delicate skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, coconut acid, glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl oleate, hydrogenated castor oil, lauryl hydroxysultaine, myristic acid, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl 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-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
