How it works

The cleanser primarily aims to remove makeup and impurities from the skin while also providing gentle exfoliation. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter serves as a moisturizer, providing hydration. Cetearyl Alcohol works as an emulsifier, ensuring the even distribution of ingredients. Sorbitan Stearate functions as a surfactant, aiding in the removal of dirt and oils. Glycerin, a humectant, helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. Cera Alba (Beeswax) acts as a thickening agent, giving the cleanser its creamy texture.
