CleansingCoco-glucoside, Decyl glucoside + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Shower Cream with its tried-and-tested formula provides a light, creamy foam containing sugar surfectants which effectively and gently cleanses your skin without being drying.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 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: coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside
