“DHC Q10 Body Soap deeply cleanses removing all traces of dirt leaving skin refreshed.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lauric acid, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, potassium laurate, potassium myristate, potassium palmitate, sodium laurate, sodium myristate, sodium palmitate) 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: sodium palmitate
