“First of All Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (babassu oil glycereth-8 esters, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
