Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Madarin Soap
Works for
CleansingSodium palmate, Sodium palm kernelateCleanses gently
“A richly fragranced soap that gently cleanses and scents the skin with lime basil and mandarin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate) 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.
