CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Glyceryl stearate + 5 moreCleanses gently
“It works as a gentle makeup remover, nourishing hair conditioner and softening body moisturiser.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (behentrimonium methosulfate, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, cetrimonium chloride, glyceryl stearate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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: cetrimonium chloride
