“Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (candida bombicola/glucose/methyl rapeseedate ferment, cetyl alcohol, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, polyglyceryl-6 distearate, polyhydroxystearic acid, potassium cetyl phosphate) 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.
