CleansingCaprylyl/capryl glucoside, Sodium cocoyl glutamate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“This multi-tasking cleanser utilises micelles to gently sweep away makeup and impurities from the skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, glyceryl caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 oleate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium surfactin) 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.
