Works for
CleansingGlyceryl caprylate/caprate, Sodium coco-sulfate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“The soap is suitable for all skin types.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl caprylate/caprate, sodium coco-sulfate, sucrose cocoate) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside
ExfoliationMicrocrystalline celluloseNot delivered
“Exfoliating Soap is a very light soap with a gentle scrubbing effect that leaves the skin soft, smooth and not least aromatic.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
