CleansingSodium lauroyl sarcosinate, Sodium cocoamphoacetate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“A delicate formula that’s always kind to your complexion, the NUXE Light Cleansing Foam carefully removes dirt, impurities and build-ups to leave your face with a refreshed glow.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, cetrimonium bromide, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate) 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.
