This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-33, cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropylamine oxide, coco-glucoside, coconut alcohol, di-ppg-2 myreth-10 adipate, glycol palmitate, palmitic acid, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium lauroyl oat amino acids, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
