“Gently cleanse dry, itchy and sensitive skin with the Bioskin Face Wash from Salcura , experts in skin therapy products for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis sufferers.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl glucoside, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.
