CleansingDecyl glucoside, Disodium cocoamphodiacetate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“The lightweight gel formula is sulphate free, and gently cleanses and washes away makeup and dirt from the skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (decyl glucoside, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol) 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: decyl glucoside
