Source: Typology

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (sodium cocoate, sodium olivate, sodium shea butterate, sodium sunflowerseedate) 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.

Sodium cocoateEffect: HighWorks as a cleansing agent~25–37%
Sodium shea butterateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together~8.7–13.1%
Sodium olivateEffect: High~3.5–5.2%
