Works for

Cleansing
Palmitic acid, Triethanolamine + 4 more
Cleanses gently

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl oleate, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, triethanolamine) 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: glyceryl oleate

Palmitic acidEffect: HighAn emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it~3.5–5.3%
TriethanolamineEffect: HighUsed to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell~2.6–3.8%
Glyceryl oleateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~1.8–2.6%
Stearic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~1.6–2.4%
Myristic acidEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Could be comedogenic~0.35–0.8%
Lauric acidEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes~0.3–0.75%
