CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Stearic acid + 2 moreCleanses gently
“Our Daily Cleanser is a hydrating cream cleanser that gently, yet thoroughly, washes away dirt, makeup, and daily buildup without drying out skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lysolecithin, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearic acid, 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.
