CleansingGlyceryl caprylate/caprate, Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate + 2 moreCleanses gently
“Crafted to lather into a foaming cleanser that ensures no oily residue is left behind.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl caprylate/caprate, glyceryl undecylenate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“SLEEP Sugar Body Polish by J.R. Watkins is a naturally derived, sugar body polish made with fine sugar crystals to gently exfoliate skin.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
