Honey + Kojic Cleanser

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: decyl glucoside

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
