NATURE REPUBLIC Hyathenol Hydra Foam Cleanser
Works for
CleansingMyristic acid, Lauric acid + 12 moreCleanses gently
“This foam cleanser cleanses you face with mild and moisturizing formula.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, capric acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, peg-100 stearate, peg-40 stearate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid) 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, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
