Typology Lipid-Replenishing Shower Oil — with 2.5% Vitamin E + F + Bitter almond extract
Works for
CleansingSodium lauroyl lactylate, Linoleic acid + 1 moreCleanses gently
“It emulsifies on contact with water to create a light lather that cleanses and nourishes the skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (linoleic acid, linolenic acid, sodium lauroyl lactylate) 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.
