Works for
CleansingMyristic acid, Stearic acid + 6 moreCleanses gently
“A moisturizing foam cleanser that helps to deep cleanse your pores without leaving a tight feeling.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide dea, cocamidopropyl betaine, glyceryl stearate, lauryl betaine, myristic acid, palmitoyl oligopeptide, sodium stearoyl glutamate, stearic acid) 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: cocamidopropyl betaine
