CleansingBehenyl betaine, Ppg-5-ceteth-10 phosphate + 2 moreCleanses gently
“Infused with natural oils and ingredients that will rapidly remove dirt, oil and other impurities from the skin, this bestselling scrub contains small pieces of pineapple and papaya fruit and has naturally-brightening, enzymatic properties.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (behenyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate, ppg-5-ceteth-10 phosphate) 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.
