“Intensive Moisture Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (c12-13 pareth-3, decyl glucoside, hexylene glycol, hydrogenated coconut acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium astrocaryum murumuruate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, stearic acid, trideceth-12, xanthan gum) 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: decyl glucoside
