Promise: Cleansing
What does the product description say?
The body wash works as a post-workout miracle as it gently eliminates the risk of body odour, while the plant-based technology offers you the peace of mind that only the kindest ingredients are enveloping your skin.
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, glyceryl stearate, glycol distearate, laureth-4, peg-100 stearate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, trideceth-9, 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
