“The Rice Polish Gentle Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (lauryl betaine, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, sodium lauryl phosphate, sodium stearoyl glutamate) 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.
