CleansingCoco-glucoside, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 10 moreCleanses gently
“Indulgent and luxurious, this set includes their Nimbu Body Cleanser and Body Lotion, both infused with a clinically-proven Ceramide complex and skin-nourishing vitamins that leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft and supple.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cholesterol, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, glycol distearate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, steareth-4, 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate
