CleansingCaprylyl/capryl glucoside, Lauryl glucoside + 5 moreCleanses gently
“This pH-balanced cleansing gel gently yet effectively lifts away daily makeup, dirt and excess oil without over-drying skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, lauryl betaine, lauryl glucoside, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, xanthan gum) 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: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
