This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 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.

Peg-100 stearateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture~2.4–3%
Cetyl alcoholEffect: HighA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together~1.9–2.3%
Xanthan gumEffect: HighUsed to create a thicker product consistency~0.2–0.4%
