CleansingMipa-laureth sulfate, Laureth-3 + 3 moreCleanses gently
“Scents aside, the brand dives into self care with the Shower Oil (250ml), a nourishing formula that simplifies your daily routine by gently cleansing and moisturising your limbs at the same time.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (laureth-3, laureth-4, laureth-7 citrate, mipa-laureth sulfate, olive oil peg-7 esters) 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.
