KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Foaming Cleanser
Works for
CleansingSodium cocoyl glutamate, Coco-glucoside + 5 moreCleanses gently
“What it is: An invigorating, skin-friendly pH gel cleanser that transforms into a lathering foam to thoroughly cleanse away visible dirt, oil, and other impurities.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, lauroyl/myristoyl methyl glucamide, sodium cocoyl glutamate, xylityl sesquicaprylate) 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: capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate
