“Green Clean Fragrance-Free Gentle Creamy Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, coconut acid, glyceryl oleate, glyceryl stearate, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, 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, glyceryl oleate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
