“Gentle Foaming Face Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, hexylene glycol, peg-50 shea butter, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) 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: cetyl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
