CleansingCetearyl olivate, Cetearyl alcohol + 4 moreCleanses gently
“A fusion of science-backed ingredients create a light lathering emulsion designed to efficiently cleanse the skin for a balanced complexion.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl olivate, glyceryl caprylate, sorbitan olivate, xanthan gum) 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.
