CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate + 7 moreCleanses gently
“Gentle, effective, non-foaming cream cleanser for dry skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (behentrimonium methosulfate, cetearyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycol stearate, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, stearic acid) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
