“Pro Cica Tiger Serum Body Wash”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, disodium coco-glucoside citrate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, hydrogenated lecithin, lauryl betaine, propylene glycol laurate, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate, sodium cocoyl glutamate) 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, sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
