Thank You Farmer Back To Iceland Cleansing Water
Works for
CleansingPeg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, Cocamidopropyl betaine + 2 moreCleanses gently
“Nourishing cleansing water contains 83% Iceland moss extract instead of regular water to help hydrate, tone and remove excess sebum from skin without leaving it dry or tight.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, polyglyceryl-3 caprate) 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
