“The Dove Purely Pampering Coconut Milk Beauty Bar is a gentle cleanser that's perfect for this, with a warm, comforting scent of coconut milk and jasmine that delivers you to a state of peaceful tranquility.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, lauric acid, sodium laurate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium oleate, sodium stearate, stearic 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.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine
