Neal's Yard Remedies Beauty Sleep Shower Oil
Works for
CleansingGlyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate, Glyceryl caprylate + 2 moreCleanses gently
“This certified organic shower oil transforms from an oil to a light milky lather to enhance your shower routine with a truly luxurious cleanse.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate, polyglyceryl-3 caprate, polyglyceryl-4 cocoate) 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.
