CleansingSodium cocoyl isethionate, Lauric acid + 7 moreCleanses gently
“This is a mild cleansing foam that calms flushed and irritated skin while cleansing.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl stearate, hexylene glycol, lauric acid, lauryl betaine, laurylpyridinium chloride, palmitic acid, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sorbitan olivate, 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: laurylpyridinium chloride
