CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Glyceryl stearate + 4 moreCleanses gently
“Blended with High Performance Tea Leaf Extract, the cleanser locks in hydration and works to decrease the likelihood of nitration.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, polysorbate 80, sorbitan palmitate, stearoyl glutamic acid) 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.
