What does the product description say?
Gel Cleanser
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, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, lauryl betaine, palm kernel acid, potassium cocoate, potassium oleate, sodium cocoyl amino acids, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 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: decyl glucoside
Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
---|---|---|---|
xanthan gum | HIGH | ||
decyl glucoside | HIGH | ||
disodium cocoyl glutamate | HIGH |
