Drunk Elephant Kamili Cream Body Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate, Coco-glucoside + 4 moreCleanses gently
“Ultra-Mild Surfactant Blend: A stack of gentle cleansing agents, including coconut-based surfactants rich in fatty acids, work together to create a creamy foam that effectively lifts dirt and other substances from skin without stripping or drying.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, glycol distearate, sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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, coco-glucoside, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
