CleansingStearic acid, Palmitic acid + 8 moreCleanses gently
“This foam cleanser contains snail secretion filtrate, white mulberry bark extract and Chinese skullcap root extract to moisturize, soothe and protect skin while thoroughly removing dirt and impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, capric acid, cocamide mipa, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, sorbitan olivate, 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
