CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Xanthan gum + 2 moreCleanses gently
“The formula with organic Green Tea effectively removes make-up, even waterproof mascara.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl caprylate, sodium cetearyl sulfate, xanthan gum) 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.
