What the product description says

“Nuxe Rêve de Miel Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel Limited Edition 750ml is a face and body shower gel that cleanses, soothes and softens dry and sensitive skin without drying it out.”

Source: Cocoon Center

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate) 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: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
