CleansingSodium lauroyl sarcosinate, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose + 5 moreCleanses gently
“A foaming face wash formulated using a blend of eco-friendly surfactants, solvents and emulsifiers that remove makeup and pore-blocking impurities while hydrating and refreshing skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyglyceryl-3 caprate, polyglyceryl-3 cocoate, polyglyceryl-6 caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 ricinoleate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, 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.

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles.

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
