NATUREKIND Calendula pH Balance Cleansing Foam
Works for
ExfoliationBetaine salicylate, Salix alba bark extract + 1 moreWorks well
“Contains BHA and AHA to exfoliate skin.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.
CleansingLauryl glucoside, Coco-glucoside + 4 moreCleanses gently
“Infused with plant based natural surfactants to create soft foam to thoroughly dissolve makeup and dirts.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, lauryl glucoside, polyglyceryl-4 caprate) 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-glucoside, decyl glucoside
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Betaine salicylate, Salix alba bark extract + 4 moreMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains betaine salicylate.
