“Tea Tree Low pH Cleansing Foam”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl olivate, coco-betaine, glyceryl stearate citrate, lauric acid, lauryl betaine, polyglyceryl-3 distearate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sorbitan olivate) 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: coco-betaine
