Nourish Organic Age Defense Face Cleanser
Works for
CleansingPotassium oleate, Potassium cocoateCleanses gently
“Prepare to be a hard-core fan – this gentle, USDA Certified Organic cleanser is an anti-pollution rockstar! Gently removes dirt, makeup, and other environmental impurities that build up on your skin throughout the day while helping to replenish the skin's protective moisture barrier, leaving skin soft and supple.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (potassium cocoate, potassium oleate) 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.
