What does the product description say?
Formulated for sensitive skin, this dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, super gentle face wash uses vegan ceramides to support your skin’s barrier, while removing makeup, oil and impurities.
Source: Pacifica
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cholesterol, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, disodium cocoyl glutamate, glycol distearate, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl lactylate, xanthan gum) 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, decyl glucoside
