SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Oil Shea Butter Soap
Works for
CleansingSodium palmate, Sodium palm kernelate + 3 moreCleanses gently
“SheaMoisture's nutrient rich 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Shea Butter bar soap cleanses and softens skin with a blend of 100% Coconut Oil, Coconut Milk & Acacia Senegal.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (palm acid, palm kernel acid, sodium palm kernelate, sodium palmate, 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.
