Nopalera Cactus Shower Gel - Dulce De Cuerpo
Works for
CleansingSodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 2 moreCleanses gently
“This light green gel transforms into silky lather to delicately cleanse and deeply nourish with prickly pear oil, blue agave and cactus flower extracts.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide mipa, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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 c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
