“A milky face balm that sweeps away the day with precision, it dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while enveloping the skin in lasting nourishment.”
Source: Danucera

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sucrose laurate, sucrose stearate) 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.

Sucrose laurateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~1.6–2.4%
Sucrose stearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~0.6–1.35%
