FOAMIE Face Bar - Charcoal for Normal to Combination Skin
Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Polyglyceryl-4 laurateCleanses gently
“FOAMIE’s Face Bar with Charcoal is a purifying cleanser for normal to combination skin types.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (polyglyceryl-4 laurate, sodium cocoyl 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.
