Jo Malone London Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Exfoliating Shower Gel
Works for
CleansingSodium laureth sulfate, Ammonium lauryl sulfate + 5 moreCleanses gently
“The exfoliating shower gel charges the skin with a thorough cleanse, softly buffing away dead skin cells and lingering debris for a clean, smooth-touch finish.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ammonium lauryl sulfate, ceteth-20, coco-betaine, hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, polysorbate 20, sodium laureth sulfate) 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: ammonium lauryl sulfate, coco-betaine, sodium laureth sulfate

“Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Exfoliating Shower Gel”
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.
