CleansingPalmitic acid, Triethanolamine + 4 moreCleanses gently
“A mild combination of surfactants and emulsifiers. . Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, palmitic acid, sorbitan stearate, stearic acid, sunflower seed oil glyceride, triethanolamine) 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.
