“No. 1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil”
Source: Lila Beauty

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin.

It contains the following cleansing agents that tend to be harsh on the skin: sorbitan sesquioleate.

Keep in mind that cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Diisostearyl malateEffect: HighHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin~1.6–2.4%
