“D. S. Regulating Foaming Gel”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coceth-3, coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, magnesium laureth sulfate, magnesium laureth-8 sulfate, magnesium oleth sulfate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium laureth-8 sulfate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium myristoyl sarcosinate, sodium oleth sulfate, zinc coceth sulfate) 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: coco-glucoside, decyl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
