Works for
CleansingSodium lauroyl isethionate, Sodium methyl lauroyl taurate + 9 moreCleanses gently
“This nourishing body wash, with 24hr Renewing MicroMoisture, gently cleanses and nourishes the skin, leaving it renewed and healthy-looking for 24 hours.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryloyl glycine, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated vegetable glycerides, hydroxystearic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium methyl lauroyl taurate, stearic acid, undecylenoyl glycine) 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
