Little Barn Apothecary Orchid + Sea Kelp Antioxidant Mud Mask
Works for
CleansingXanthan gum, Sorbitan olivateCleanses gently
“A nourishing and deep cleansing antioxidant mud mask rich in earth and botanical nutrients to reduce free radicals.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sorbitan olivate, 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.
