CleansingSodium cocoyl glycinate, Coco-betaine + 4 moreCleanses gently
“A mild cleansing foam containing centella asiatica extract that cleanses and hydrates the skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, quillaja saponaria bark extract, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl glutamate) 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: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside
