Restorative Cleansing Balm by De Mamiel
Source: Cultbeauty
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cera alba, polyglyceryl-2 caprate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquioleate, sodium cocoyl 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.
Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen
Helps oil and water mix together
Anti-blemish
