Farmacy Beauty Beauty CLEAN BEE Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine + 4 moreCleanses gently
“Clean Bee honey cleanser lifts away excess oil, impurities, + makeup while infusing moisture with honey and hyaluronic acid.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate) 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: decyl glucoside
