Votary Super Sensitive Cleansing Cream, Chia and Oat Extracts
Works for
CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Palmitic acid + 8 moreCleanses gently
“Super Sensitive Cleansing Cream is an ultra gentle rinse-off cleansing cream that melts away dirt, impurities and makeup effortlessly while supporting your skin’s essential barrier function.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidic acid, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, sodium stearoyl glutamate, stearic acid, sucrose stearate, xanthan gum) 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.
