CleansingSodium lauroyl sarcosinate, Lauric acid + 6 moreCleanses gently
“Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, stearic acid) 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.
