“Moisturizing body wash that gently cleanses and cares for your skin, leaving skin feeling clean and smooth”
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, polysorbate 20, sodium laurate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl glycinate) 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
