CleansingPeg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, Glycol distearate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“The Supreme Balm Cleanser is an unparalleled, deep cleansing ceremony that offers an indulgent ritual to help shed the day's stress, remove makeup and leave skin perfectly clean.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl behenate, glycol distearate, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate) 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.
